Description
Nemadji Swirl Vase — a compact yet expressive piece of American mid-century pottery, crafted using a process that renders each object entirely unique. This short-form vase features rich marbling in earth tones, created by swirling colored slips across the unfired clay before final kiln firing.
Originating in Moose Lake, Minnesota, the Nemadji line became a cultural phenomenon in the 1940s–60s, especially among Route 66 tourists and collectors of rustic Americana. Despite its name, Nemadji pottery was not made by Native Americans but instead drew loose inspiration from tribal aesthetics and the region’s indigenous heritage.
Today, these vases are beloved for their texture, color, and authentic folk design ethos — affordable, approachable, and timeless
