THE ITEM
This chic work of Mid Century Art Deco design brings with it quiet glamour and classic retro vibes.
The pitcher form is subtle, similar to that of an abstract and lightly angular baluster vase that is complemented by the extended, geometric handle. This form makes an excellent canvas for the shimmering glaze decor.
The base glaze is a Sienna brown that is interspersed with vertical bands of teal green around the main body of the vase as well as accents on the handle. The base glaze is overlaid with an iridescent, rainbow lustre glaze that has been applied all over the exterior, giving glimmers of grape purple, blues, peacock green and gold.
CONDITION
