Lovely Vintage Studio Pottery Weed Vase in Mottled Blue-Purple Glaze handmade rooster but perhaps it is his

but perhaps it is his bearded face that floats about the text

and for the warm dry wood patina all over

I'd guess the carving dates 1920s-40s

with the arching piece meant to be a manger

Minor paint loss and minor rust here and there

Lovely Vintage Studio Pottery Weed Vase in Mottled Blue-Purple Glaze handmade rooster but perhaps it is hisI know more of you look to me for folk art and curious things than for pottery, but I'm a great lover of functional studio pottery vessels, and a firm believer in the power of a lovely pot, with weed bud vases my favorite of all forms. And what a pretty and serene one this is, almost perfectly round, feeling like a gulp of sky. In excellent condition, a sort of soft blue purple, with some mottling to the glaze and a bit of variation on one side.
