Lovely Vintage Studio Pottery Weed Vase in Mottled Blue-Purple Glaze inuit carved bone box is written on the back

is written on the back of the card to which the photo is mounted—and this very large corsage of three fat roses that sort of floats across her chest

such that it will stand up on its own balancing off of a crease at center

Vessels like this one show Mary Scheier's mastery of the wheel and admiration for Japanese and Chinese ceramics traditions

I like it set tabletop just as pictured

Lovely Vintage Studio Pottery Weed Vase in Mottled Blue-Purple Glaze inuit carved bone box is written on the backI know more of you look to me for folk art and curious things than for pottery, but I'm a great lover of functional studio pottery vessels, and a firm believer in the power of a lovely pot, with weed bud vases my favorite of all forms. And what a pretty and serene one this is, almost perfectly round, feeling like a gulp of sky. In excellent condition, a sort of soft blue purple, with some mottling to the glaze and a bit of variation on one side.
