This charming figural stoneware bud vase, a signature creation by late Virginia artist Solveig Cox, is a delightful encapsulation of mid-century modern folk art. Standing approximately 4.5 inches tall, the piece is crafted from a speckled beige stoneware that peeks through an off-white, slightly textured glaze, giving it a warm, tactile appeal. The cylindrical form serves as a canvas for whimsical, hand-molded sculptural elements: simplified facial features with dot eyes and a distinctive nose are topped by stylized “hair” tabs on either side, imbuing the vase with personality and a naive, almost “hoodoo” style. The most prominent feature is the central motif depicting a figure (described sometimes as a man, woman, or fertility goddess) embracing a large, raised bouquet of flowers. The thick glaze pools around these raised elements, emphasizing their texture and handcrafted quality. This unique aesthetic is highly representative of Cox’s decades of work at the Torpedo Factory in Alexandria, Virginia, where she was known for creating functional art that was both playful and deeply individualistic. The combination of its compact size, robust material, and charming, sculptural narrative makes this specific design a sought-after collectible for enthusiasts of vintage studio pottery.

His striking vintage 1960s Brutalist-style vase is a true one-of-a-kind statement piece. Crafted in a sculptural trapezoid form, it features bold geometric and mandala-like relief patterns on both sides, enhanced by rich earthy green and ochre glaze tones with subtle blue-green accents. The tactile texture and mid-century design aesthetic make it a standout addition to any modernist, studio pottery, or retro-inspired interior. The vase is made of ceramic and has a strong presence thanks to its heavy form and unique, hand-applied surface decoration. The glaze has a mottled, flowing quality that enhances its Brutalist appeal, with variations that catch the light beautifully. Likely studio-made, this piece is perfect for collectors of mid-century decor or studio pottery. A true one of a kind piece. Condition: Excellent used condition. No chips or cracks. May have minor marks/signs of normal use. The vase does lean slightly to the front but i believe this was the war it was designed. All photos are my own taken by me, and are of the actual exact product you shall receive. Height: 33.5 cm. Length: 18.5 cm. Width: 6.5 cm. Rim Diameter: 3 cm. My Promise to You.

Each is made from coils and the biggest is over 6 (15cm) tall. One is inscribed Lh with the other two bearing his impressed mark. None have any damage or repairs.
