Small mottled blue and white vase

« on: September 11, 2018, 12:43:42 PM »

A cylindrical vase, 6" tall, flaring out a little at the rim (diam. 2.75") and narrowing slightly at the rounded base (diam. 2.5").

The enamels are almost opaque and have the feel of ceramic. Only when you get the sun right behind the vase does the upper half reveal a slightly swirling pattern. The base has been ground to level it (still a bit wobbly) and in doing so the clear, colourless body has been partly revealed. The remains of a paper label cover the pontil mark, which I can feel is a bit rough.

Thank you!
