VINTAGE HÅNDSNAAKT Blue Speckled Stoneware Vase - Handmade Dutch Art Pottery

Vintage HÅNDSNAAET Blue Speckled Stoneware Vase — Handmade Dutch Art Pottery

Produced in the Netherlands during the 1970s and bearing the "HÅNDSNAAET" (hand-made) mark impressed into its base, this cobalt blue speckled stoneware vase is a fine example of the studio pottery tradition that flourished across Northern Europe during the mid-century modern period. The cobalt blue glaze, mottled and speckled over a cream-toned stoneware body in a technique consistent with studio atmospheric firing, creates a surface of genuine depth and visual interest — the kind of effect that cannot be mechanically replicated. At 18cm tall and 15cm wide with a characteristically flared rim, the vase occupies a satisfying scale — substantial enough to anchor a shelf or windowsill, refined enough for close study. Waterproof and suitable for fresh flowers, it is a fully functional as well as decorative piece, weighing 640g and signed at the base.
