Pretty ceramic vase made by Abingdon Pottery likely in the 1950's. Only some of the letters in the manufacturer's name appear stamped on the underside base (part of the "n" and "g" and most of the "don") along with "U.S.A.", but we believe this is who made this piece based on others we've seen in the past. Very nice turquoise color, with two small handles at the waist on either side of the vase in curved leaf shapes. The bottom of the vase is bulbous, elegantly extending upwards to a flared circular top rim.

This old vase stands 7 inches tall, about 3 5/8 inches greatest width and 3 1/4 inches depth, with a smaller cinched in round base having a diameter of about 2 3/8 inches. This piece is ceramic or pottery and not porcelain (it is not translucent). We've provided 6 images to show varied views along with close-ups of the manufacturer marking. Please note that the white "hot spots" are reflections from the camera lighting on the high gloss surface. Also, the all-over turquoise color is richer and a bit greener/truer turquoise color in person than appears in the images due to the camera lighting effect (the camera makes the vase seem a bit more just light blue in color).

Wonderful overall condition with no chips, cracks or crazing but not mint. There is nothing major to worry about here but the vase has minor use/age/manufacturing flaws as would be expected. There are pin/pit dots in the ceramic, dark pin dots in the pottery, a few light surface scratches with at least one creating a tiny tiny white pin dot (nothing bad), a few small stain/wear spots (nothing bad, we see 2 of these below the cinched in area at the bottom and one on the upper interior of the vase), a tiny impressed curved line mark along the lower base edge that looks made in manufacture to us, some impressed lines and wear on the underside base on which the piece sits. But you have to look very closely like we do to notice these things; most would just see the nifty shape and color.

A neat vintage piece to use or put on display as part of an Abingdon Pottery collection or a colorful room addition.
