Drippy Blue Glazed Studio Pottery Bud Vase with Banded Design of Black Triangles bedding If you are curiousThere are many good bud vases out there, and I can't resist snatching them up when I find them. I am not sure when this one was made or who made it, but it definitely has a mid century brutalist feel. It's quite different from every view mostly blue from one side, brown and grey speckled from another, with the clay body showing through. Constant all the way around is a black design of triangles with lines through the centers, alternating in direction.
