Handcrafted studio ceramics vase with an exceptional green-tinged turquoise glaze

Description

Expressive handmade studio ceramics vase from the second half of the 20th century.

The vase features a swollen, organically shaped bottle form with a long, narrow neck. Especially characteristic is the elaborate-looking glaze: the body shows various shades of green and turquoise with olive greens and dark areas as well as numerous black inclusions. In the lower section the glaze shifts to reddish-brown tones.

The neck is in a warm cream or ochre tone and displays a fine decorative craquelure. The combination of the calm form and the lively, highly textured glaze gives the vase a distinctly decorative and sculptural character.

The surface and irregular glaze runs emphasize the craft character of the piece. The vase stylistically recalls the aesthetics of Japanese/Asian studio ceramics, but a secure provenance cannot be determined due to the absence of a signature. Therefore it is offered explicitly without a specific manufacturer or country designation.

The vase is unsigned.
