Studio Pottery Miniature Vase, Lava Glaze with Metallic Sheen – Vintage 1970s, Wabi-Sabi Decor

A captivating piece blending cosmic aesthetics with the warmth of handmade studio ceramics: a miniature vase with an expressive lava glaze.

Design

The tactile, "meteorite-like" surface shimmers metallic in deep graphite and bronze when it catches the light. The light glazed neck contrasts beautifully with the dark, organic body. Its squat spherical shape makes it a small art object.
