Mid-Century Modern Studio Pottery Fish Vase | Sculptural Drip Glaze | 9.5” Tal

Striking mid-century modern studio pottery fish vase, standing approximately 9.5 inches tall, with bold sculptural form and expressive, organic glazing. This piece captures everything collectors love about post-war studio ceramics; movement, texture, and a deep connection to nature.
The vessel is hand-formed with dimensional fins, gill detailing, and an open mouth rim, giving the fish a dynamic, almost animated presence. The glaze is rich and complex, featuring layered tones of olive green, ochre, rust brown, cream, and smoky blue, with intentional drip and pooling effects from high-temperature firing.

This is artist-made studio pottery, not mass-produced ware. The base shows expected kiln marks and firing residue, consistent with authentic mid-century studio ceramics. The piece is unsigned, which is common for regional and small-studio work from the 1950s–1970s.
Perfect for:
Mid-century modern interiors
Studio pottery collectors
Fish and aquatic-form collectors
Sculptural display
