Vintage Studio Pottery Vase in White, Ochre and Turquoise

This vintage studio pottery vase has a wonderfully sculptural quality, with its softly irregular cylindrical form and abstract applied decoration in white, ochre, turquoise and deep brown. It feels expressive and handmade in the best way, with a surface full of texture, movement and character. Rather than aiming for neat symmetry, it celebrates the individuality that makes studio pottery so appealing.

The colour palette is especially lovely. The chalky white body keeps it fresh and light, while the earthy ochre and glossy turquoise details give it warmth and contrast. Those circular and square motifs make it feel almost architectural, as though it sits somewhere between a vase and a small ceramic artwork. It is the sort of piece that draws the eye straight away and adds a more thoughtful, collected look to a shelf or tabletop.

It would work beautifully styled on open shelving, a console, a side table or among a group of other ceramics where its texture and form can stand out. You could use it for a few dried stems, but it is just as effective left empty and appreciated as an object in its own right. Pieces like this are what make studio pottery so rewarding to live with. 

Measures 18 x 14 x 11 cm. A characterful vintage studio pottery piece with the light signs of age and use you would expect from a pre loved decorative object.
