Rare 1950s Wedgwood Small Ribbed Pedestal Vase

£35.00

The Story

This petite and elegant Wedgwood vase is a rare find from the 1950s. It features a unique Moonstone glaze - a sophisticated grey-green finish that shifts in tone from green and grey to hints of blue and bronze depending on the light. With its classical fluted lines and flared pedestal base, it represents the timeless elegance of mid-century Wedgwood design, bridging the gap between traditional period aesthetics and modern minimalist decor.

The Details

  • Dimensions: 11cm (4.3") Height x 6.5cm (2.5") at widest point.

  • Maker: Wedgwood, Staffordshire (stamped faintly to base).

  • Glaze: Glossy grey-green Moonstone exterior with a soft satin interior.

  • Design: Fluted form with vertical ribbed detailing and a pedestal base.

  • Era: Circa 1950s.

  • Condition: Wonderful vintage condition with minimal wear. It is fully watertight and free of chips, cracks, crazing, or repairs.

Why It’s Special

The rarity of this piece lies in its specific glaze color and petite statue. While Wedgwood is often associated with matte Jasperware, their mid-century glossy glazes are highly sought after by collectors for their depth and "ever-changing" hues. Its petite size makes it an incredibly versatile piece for styling, fitting into small nooks where larger vases might overwhelm.

Styling Tips

  • The Single Stem: Because of its narrow fluted neck, this vase is perfect for a single, architectural stem - such as a sprig of dried eucalyptus, a delicate poppy, or a tall wildflower.

  • Shelf Accent: Its grey-green tones are neutral yet rich, making it a perfect companion for other mid-century ceramics or stacked art books.

  • Modern Vanity: Use it on a dressing table to hold a small bouquet. The classic lines add a touch of sophistication to a modern vanity setup without taking up too much space.
