Description :

A collection of our favorite shade of greens meeting one purple fish. This six-piece ceramic lot combines a pointed-lid pedestal vessel, a planter with a removable insert, a bird-decorated vase, a matching-style candleholder and two fish-shaped vessels. Varied glazes range from softly mottled sage to glossy violet.

Details

  • Six glazed ceramic pieces; exposed clay is visible at several bases and rims.
  • Green pedestal vessel with a rounded body and tall, pointed removable lid.
  • Green planter with a separate unglazed clay insert.
  • Small green vase with raised bird decoration.
  • Green candleholder with raised bird and foliage decoration.
  • Small green fish-shaped bud vase.
  • Glossy purple fish-shaped vessel with an open mouth, raised scales and modeled fins.
  • Purple fish has an incised personal inscription and a date appearing to read 1971; the name is not clearly legible.
  • Makers and exact production dates of the remaining pieces unconfirmed.

Measurements

  • Pieces range approximately 2"–8.25" H

Highlights

  • The purple fish and pointed-lid pedestal vessel stand out for their sculptural shapes and contrasting glazes.
  • Raised bird motifs connect the green vase and candleholder.
  • The purple fish’s personal inscription and date suggest a hobby-ceramics piece.

Condition

Used condition with surface marks, glaze variations, base wear and residue. The pointed lid has visible chips along its lower edge exposing pale ceramic. The planter and removable insert show staining and mineral or soil residue. Other pieces show scattered discoloration and small surface irregularities. Watertightness has not been tested.
