Mid-Century Black Glazed Studio Pottery Weed Vase with Blue Squiggle Design carved pig I believe--have so much graceJust a great little studio pottery vase, unsigned but presumed mid century as it seems quintessentially so. It's got a thick, drippy black glaze over most of its body, but for an unglazed middle section decorated with bands of blue squiggles in slight relief. This vase would look great just about anywhere. 5 7 8" tall x 2 7 8" diameter at widest, with a 5 8" opening and 1 3 4" diameter at base. Excellent condition.
