and worked in Amsterdam

I might use it as a serving dish

a version of which is featured in the collection of the Smithsonian Museum

Matte Turquoise Glazed Hand-thrown Pottery Vase bowling pins and worked in AmsterdamThis is the sort of vase I would always have on the table or shelf, whether filled with flowers or not the form is just gorgeous, and the matte turquoise surface reminds me of the green patina on an ancient bronze sculpture, while also shifting in character based on how the light hits it. Filled with a big bloom or branch or two, it would absolutely make a dinner party table. 9" tall x 6 1 4" at widest; 2 3 4" across at opening. Excellent condition,
