Blue‑Green Notched Studio Pottery Vase — Sculptural Disk Form, Mid–Late 20th Century

Overview Sculptural studio pottery vase in a flattened disk form with a crisp V‑notched mouth. Atmospheric satin blue‑green glaze breaks softly along the rim and pools near the lower edge. Wheel‑thrown and altered stoneware, signed on the base with an incised potter’s cipher (unidentified). Handmade, one‑of‑a‑kind statement piece with strong modern lines that still feel organic. Condition Excellent vintage condition. No chips, cracks or repairs observed. Typical minor glaze variations and pinpoint speckling from firing; light shelf wear to base consistent with age. Dimensions Height: 7.75" (19.7 cm) Width & Depth: visually ~8.0" W × ~3.0" D (estimate from photos; add precise measurements if desired). Highlights • Striking flattened disk silhouette with architectural V‑notched mouth. • Subtle, moody blue‑to‑green satin glaze with variegation and depth. • Signed studio work; hand‑thrown and altered stoneware. • Reads as both modernist and organic—easy to style. Why You’ll Love It It’s understated but sculptural—equally at home as a solo art object or as a vessel for a single dramatic stem. The palette plays beautifully with woods, stone, and neutral textiles. Styling Suggestions Let it anchor a bookshelf vignette with books and a small bronze; place on a console beneath contemporary art; or use as a centerpiece with simple branches. Dating & Background Mid–late 20th century studio pottery (likely 1970s–1990s). The incised cipher on the base has not been firmly identified; the work shows influences common to American and Canadian studio potters of the period—clean modern forms softened by tactile, reduction‑style glazes. Care Dust with a soft dry cloth. If needed, wipe gently with a barely damp cloth and dry immediately. Not recommended for dishwasher or microwave use.
