Vintage Speckled Ochre and Green Pottery Bud Vase with Handle

<p>This small vintage pottery bud vase is shaped like a handled ewer, with a slender neck, a rounded base and a slim loop handle. The glaze is warm ochre with green flecks and soft yellow-green, leaf-like patches, so the color shifts as light moves across it.</p><p>The flared, slightly angled rim suits a single stem or a few dried flowers. Shown with dried lavender, the bud vase sits comfortably on a bookshelf, mantel, windowsill or small console. The unglazed foot ring reveals a tan clay body. An incised mark on the base is difficult to read with certainty (see below).</p><p>The piece appears to date to the 1960s and reflects the mid-century drip and speckle glaze style. It has a quiet, earthy look that suits a vintage or collected home.</p><p><strong>Measurements and condition</strong></p><ul><li>Height: [add] in</li><li>Widest point (base): [add] in</li><li>Weight: [add] oz</li><li>Material: glazed pottery</li><li>Mark: incised mark on the base, unclear.
