Tall Studio Pottery Bottle Vase in Turquoise and Cobalt Blue

This tall studio pottery vase has a beautifully striking bottle form, with a slender neck and a richly contrasting glaze in turquoise and deep cobalt blue. The proportions give it a sculptural presence, while the band of warm detail between the two colours adds definition and a lovely sense of craftsmanship. The metallic band towards the base adds a unique detail.  It is the kind of piece that works just as well as a decorative object on its own as it does holding a few stems.

Its tall, narrow shape makes it especially good for styling on shelves, console tables, mantelpieces or narrow ledges where height is needed without taking up too much visual space. It would look wonderful with a single dramatic stem, or a couple of dried flowers, but it is equally effective left empty so the form and glaze can speak for themselves.

Studio pottery has such lasting appeal because each piece carries the hand of its maker. There is a sense of individuality in the finish, the proportions and the glazing that mass produced ceramics rarely achieve. This vase has that same quality. It feels thoughtful, tactile and quietly distinctive, with a slightly artistic, collected look that would sit beautifully among books, antique brass, coloured glass or other handmade ceramics.

Measures 33 x 5 cm. A characterful vintage studio pottery vase with a couple of tiny chips to the base and light signs of age and use you would expect from a pre loved decorative piece.
