This particular vase, with its textured surface and variegated glaze, is characteristic of mid-20th century studio pottery. The impressed dot pattern and the way the glaze pools and drips suggest a deliberate artistic choice, aiming for a rustic yet refined appearance. Such pieces are often appreciated for their tactile qualities and the unique character imparted by the firing process, making them sought-after by collectors of contemporary craft and decorative arts.
Studio pottery emerged as a significant movement in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, emphasizing individual artistic expression and craftsmanship over mass production. Potters began to experiment with new forms, glazes, and firing techniques, moving away from purely functional ceramics towards decorative and sculptural pieces. This movement gained particular traction in Japan and the United States, with artists developing unique styles that reflected their cultural backgrounds and personal aesthetics.
