Nifty Blue & Green Ridged V-Shaped Pottery Vase
Attractive pottery vase in interesting 'V' shape with molded ridges and mottled green & blue earthy or natural coloring. Has no identification markings which we could find. Stands about 6 inches tall, roughly oval top opening, greatest width 5 1/2 inches, depth 3 1/4 inches, with roughly round base about 2 1/2 inches diameter.
The green & blue colors mix in varying shades among the ridges, similar to seeing the variation in color in a lake as the water ripples. It has a very natural reminiscent look which we find very impressive and tried to capture as best we could in the 3 images. Please note that the white 'hot spots or dots' in the images are the reflection of the lighting on this highly glazed piece. We don't know how old the piece is, it came out of a home.
Wonderful condition overall. We do see one flake or small chip on one side near the bottom which shows as a small white circle among the green about 1/8 inch in diameter, some other minor scratches or lines on the ridges and feel some roughness on some of the ridges and the top edge, which we believe traces to how the final glaze layer settled or was applied. There also are some areas within the ridges under the top glaze in which the colors may not have fully melded into one another during manufacture (this particularly seems to have occurred in the more aqua-colored areas), leaving a speckled 'dotted line' look within the deeper points of some of the ridges. But while pointing out all we see to fairly represent this piece, it is the striking effect of this vase which catches the eye. An interesting addition for any pottery collection.
