Art Pottery Floral Beach Vase

Art Pottery Floral Beach Vase — a richly glazed studio vase evoking the texture and palette of the seashore. This hand-thrown piece features a gently rounded form and sculpted floral appliqué wrapping around the body. The surface glaze layers seafoam green, pale sand, and hints of driftwood brown, creating a tactile blend that mimics weathered natural forms. The flared lip and carved base add to the vessel’s organic silhouette

Made by an independent American potter in the late 20th century, this vase reflects the movement toward earthy, handmade home objects that blend art and function. Studio pottery of this era often prioritized unique glaze formulas, floral and nature-inspired motifs, and irregular forms that emphasized the hand of the maker. This piece channels that sensibility while remaining highly usable as a vessel or decorative object.

With its sculptural surface and beachy palette, this vase is ideal for relaxed interiors, boho-modern styling, or collectors of small-batch ceramics. It feels both grounded and expressive — a quiet celebration of artisan work and the natural world.
