Description from the seller

Studio Art Pottery – 4-Piece Celadon Green Stoneware Set – Zoomorphic Motifs (Lizard, Frog & Grotesque Creature) – Ceramics – c. 1960–1980.

Offered is a uniquely detailed and whimsical 4-piece vintage studio pottery ceramic set, finished in a soft celadon green glaze with subtle mottled speckling and organic textures.

Each piece in this collection features hand-sculpted zoomorphic accents (animal motifs), giving the set a distinct, artistic character reminiscent of Mid-Century Studio Pottery and Art Nouveau-inspired ceramics.

The set comprises four individual items:
• Lidded Jar: The lid is topped with an intricately sculpted finial handle in the form of a whimsical gargoyle / frog-cat creature. It features an expressive face, distinct clawed hands, and a long curled tail trailing across the surface of the lid.
• Baluster Vase: Adorned with a detailed salamander / lizard clambering up the neck towards the upper rim, seamlessly integrated into the vase’s form.
• Candlestick Holder: Decorated with a small frog / toad resting along the lower stem of the column, watching upwards.
• Small Jar with Stopper: A charming round vessel with a softly dimpled, tactile surface texture, complete with its original matching spherical stopper.

Maker, Dating & Provenance:
• Maker / Marks: Unsigned (characteristic of individual studio pottery / handcrafted artisan pieces).
• Dating: c. 1960–1980 (Mid-to-late 20th Century).
• Origin / Provenance: European Studio Pottery (likely Dutch, Scandinavian, or German origin).
• Material & Finish: High-fired stoneware / ceramic with a satin celadon green glaze and subtle iron-brown firing accents around the base and edges.

Dimensions:
• Lidded Jar: Height: 12.0 cm | Diameter: 11.2 cm
• Vase: Height: 13.0 cm | Diameter: 9.0 cm
• Candlestick Holder: Height: 9.2 cm | Base Diameter: 4.9 cm
• Small Jar (with stopper): Height: 8.7 cm | Diameter: 7.2 cm

Please carefully examine all high-resolution photographs, as they form an integral part of the condition description.
