Vintage Petite Art Studio Pottery Bud Vase in Brown Drip Glaze – Hand-Thrown Stoneware (1970s)

This hand-thrown vintage stoneware bud vase features a rounded, organic form with a narrow opening and rich brown drip glaze that cascades down the surface like tree bark in autumn rain.

Each curve reflects the potter’s hand, creating a timeless, nature-inspired piece that complements any rustic or minimalist décor.

A beautiful standalone accent for shelves or tables, it’s also perfect for displaying a single dried bloom or small arrangement. This vase embodies the quiet artistry of the 1970s studio pottery movement—where functional craft met sculptural expression.

During the 1970s, American and European studio potters embraced earthy, tactile glazes and natural forms as part of the handmade revival movement. Artists often experimented with drip and reduction glazes to create unpredictable patterns reminiscent of nature. These organic forms reflected a growing appreciation for imperfection and authenticity—values central to the wabi-sabi aesthetic.
