This stunning studio pottery vase is a beautiful example of Raku firing, an ancient Japanese technique known for creating unique, unpredictable finishes through intense heat and rapid cooling. The result is a piece that feels both rustic and relaxed, with a gentle, organic "waisted" shape. Its muted palette and tactile, matte glaze make it an inviting object for any space.
Raku pottery is highly prized for its "perfectly imperfect" nature. The heavyweight feel and the organic variations in the glaze mean that no two pieces are ever exactly alike. This vase captures the 1970s studio pottery movement’s focus on form and texture over ornate decoration.
Dimensions: ~11cm H x 7.5cm W (rim diameter).
Markings: Signed "M.B." to the interior base (unknown potter).
Era: Circa 1970s.
Condition: Immaculate vintage condition; free of signs of wear, use, or damage.
Conscious Packaging: 100% plastic-free, recyclable, and biodegradable.
Complimentary Delivery: Dispatched via Royal Mail Tracked 48.
