Vintage One-of-a-Kind Studio Pottery ‘Little Lady’ Vase

Every now and then, a piece arrives that feels like it has wandered straight out of a folk tale, and this one-of-a-kind studio pottery Little Lady vase is exactly that. Completely handmade and hand-painted, she has all the personality, charm, and quiet whimsy that I adore in truly unique ceramics.

Her rounded form, expressive painted face, and the sweetest little details, from the tied bow at her back to the ruffled apron and bold colours that all make her feel like a character with her own story. There’s something wonderfully playful about her, reminiscent of early European folk art and mid-century illustration, yet entirely individual in the way only one-off studio pottery can be.

I love her styled with a few wispy stems or a single bloom peeking from the top, and she also fits a small pillar candle, but she’s just as lovely displayed on her own as a little sculpture. Pieces like this bring such warmth and humour into a room, the kind of object that makes you smile every time you pass by.

A joyful, soulful addition to any collection of folk-inspired ceramics or one-of-a-kind studio pottery.
