Abstract Painted Studio Pottery Large Vase, 1970s

A large and handsome studio pottery vase of generous proportions, its wide globular body finished in a pale speckled grey-white glaze with sweeping brushed marks in darker grey-brown tones applied freely across the surface. The marks have a loose, gestural calligraphic quality, and the overall effect is one of painterly sophistication. The piece has a wide neck with a slightly turned collar rim. A strong and versatile decorative object that would hold its own in any interior setting.
