A Unique Studio Piece: Unlike mass-produced factory ceramics, this is a genuine studio pottery piece. Each scale has been meticulously hand-carved, and the glaze is applied with an artist’s eye for depth and texture. Because it is a studio-made object, it possesses a tactile, “one-of-a-kind” quality-no two pieces are ever identical. The weight, the carving marks, and the signature stamp on the base all distinguish this as a piece of contemporary craft rather than a standard commercial vase. Details:? Artist: Stamped “CARO GATES” on the base. Design: Part of the “Artichoke” series, representing the beauty of organic forms with a rich, dark matte glaze that catches the light on the hand-carved edges. Versatility: Functions beautifully as a standalone sculpture or as a unique bud vase for a single architectural stem. No chips, cracks, or repairs. This is a rare opportunity to own a piece of modern British studio pottery that brings a sophisticated, botanical element to any collection Stamped “CARO GATES” on the base.

This is a beautifully hand-crafted Japanese studio pottery vase featuring a carved ume (plum blossom) motif flowing around the shoulder of the vessel. The warm ash-style glaze transitions from deep charcoal to golden amber, highlighting the textured surface and giving the piece a natural, wabi-sabi character. The vase includes its original signed wooden kiribako, inscribed in brush script. The underside bears the artist’s impressed seal, indicating authentic kiln production rather than mass manufacture. A high-quality decorative and collectible piece of modern Japanese ceramics.

This is a beautiful hand crafted terracotta vase featuring a beautiful handcarved sgraffito motiff. The word “sgraffito” comes from the Italian word sgraffiare, which means “to scratch”. The technique involves applying a layer of contrasting color to a ceramic surface and then scratching through it to reveal the color of the clay or another layer underneath. The design on this vase is a modern, abstract, and organic pattern with curved lines and textured areas, which is characteristic of the mid-20th century studio pottery movement. The vase is likely a piece of West German pottery from the 1960s. This era saw a boom in ceramics production in West Germany, with many factories creating pieces that were both functional and decorative. This type of design is similar to the work of Franz Schwaderlapp for Sawa Ceramic, which was popular in West Germany in the 1960s. Although there are markings on the base, I can’t say for certain who made it as it’s quite hard to make out, it is likely a one of a kind piece. It is overall in a very good condition, just has some very minor imperfections ie, some flaking of the white. It is approximately 24cm high and 12.5cm in diameter and of a very good weight.
