Vintage, studio art pottery, amphora-style vase featuring a beautiful tricolor reactive drip glaze.
6 3/4\" tall
The vase showcases a rich mottled blue and cobalt flammé glaze on the body. The rim and loop handles are finished in a dark, contrasting caramel brown glaze.
It has a classic two-handled urn or amphora silhouette with an oval-to-rectangular footed base, matching the unglazed bottom.
This style of heavy drip-glazed stoneware with stylized handles was widely produced by North American studio potters (such as those in the Seagrove, North Carolina tradition) as well as Mid-Century European workshops.
The incised monogram script resembling an \"n\" or \"m\" or stylized initial is characteristic of studio ceramists from mid-to-late 20th-century European pottery traditions (such as Swedish or British studio pottery). Similar cursive markings and tactile stoneware bodies appear in works by mid-century artists.
