The Story
We adore the "jaunty" angles of this mid-century bud vase, a shape that perfectly sets off a statement botanical stem. The exterior features a stunning, fluid brushstroke pattern of jade and olive green mixed with inky navy tones, beautifully balanced by a crisp, contrasting white interior. It is a delicate yet sculptural piece that works as well in a singular display as it does as a functional vessel.
The Details
Dimensions: 15cm H x 6cm W (at rim)
Material: Delicate Porcelain / Glazed Studio Pottery
Condition: Excellent Vintage Condition — Free from chips, nibbles, cracks, or repairs.
Provenance & Heritage
A closer look at the artist and the craftsmanship behind the piece.
Maker/Origin: Hand-crafted by the Staffordshire-based potter, Alan Harmer.
The Era: Circa 1960s/70s British Studio Pottery movement.
The Artist: Alan Harmer (marked ‘AEH’ to the base) was a respected potter known for his refined use of porcelain and his ability to merge mid-century modern shapes with painterly, abstract glazes.
Design Significance: Unlike the heavier, rustic stoneware often found in British studio pottery, this piece uses porcelain to achieve a much more delicate, sophisticated silhouette. The "jaunty" angled rim is a hallmark of Harmer’s more experimental shapes, moving away from traditional symmetry toward the playful geometry of 20th-century modernism.
