Green Bamboo Motif Vase – Signed Asian Studio Pottery

DescriptionThis elegant studio pottery vase features finely carved decoration applied before glazing, revealing a bamboo motif in deep layered tones of emerald and jade. The artist employed the sgraffito technique, carving through the slip to expose contrasting layers beneath the lustrous glaze. The vessel’s tall, rounded form rises to a gently flared rim, combining precise wheel work with a sense of organic flow. The rich green glaze displays subtle pooling and variation, enhancing the carved relief and emphasizing the rhythmic movement of the leaves. This combination of carving and translucent glaze reflects the refined sensibilities of mid-20th-century East Asian ceramic artistry. The piece bridges traditional decorative forms and modern studio aesthetics, celebrating craftsmanship and natural symbolism. The underside bears a hand-painted signature in underglaze blue, confirming its artisanal origin and authenticity. ArtistSigned with Asian characters; artist presently unidentified. Artist DetailsThe signature and glaze quality suggest mid-20th-century Japanese or Chinese studio production, likely from a regional kiln associated with the Mingei or post-Meiji handcraft revival.
