The Story
This hand-thrown studio pottery bowl is a masterclass in contrast. Combining a mid-century "half-glazed" aesthetic with a modern, minimalist feel, it features a striking split finish. One half of the bowl is finished in a deep, inky matt black, while the other is dipped in a glossy sage green glaze. While studio pottery can be difficult to date precisely, this piece is estimated to be from the 1970s–80s. It carries a stamped maker's mark (initials LP) on its inside edge, though the specific artist remains unknown.
The Details
Dimensions: 6.5cm High / 13cm Diameter at rim.
Maker: Stamped initials 'LP' to the inside edge (Maker unknown).
Era: Circa 1970s–1980s.
Finish: Tactile split-effect glaze; half inky matt black, half glossy sage green.
Condition: Perfect vintage condition. It is immaculate throughout, with no chips, nibbles, cracks, or repairs.
Why It’s Special
The "split glaze" or "half-dipped" technique creates a beautiful tension between the matt and glossy surfaces. The sage green is a quintessentially vintage tone that has seen a massive resurgence in modern interior design, making this piece feel both historic and incredibly contemporary. Its small size and deep profile make it as functional as it is decorative.
Styling Tips
Cacti & Succulent Pot: The deep green glaze perfectly complements the natural tones of desert plants. It makes a superb "outer pot" or planter for a small cactus or a clustering succulent like an Echeveria.
Modern Nibbles Bowl: Its food-safe appearance (though always recommended for dry snacks) makes it a stylish choice for serving olives, nuts, or wasabi peas during a drinks evening.
