Unique Vintage Terracotta Slipware Fish Vase • Signed Joan

A beautifully tactile piece of studio pottery, hand-thrown in terracotta and finished with a soft cream slipware glaze. Decorated with a repeating hand-painted fish motif in deep cobalt blue, this vase has a quiet charm that feels both playful and meditative. The surface shows subtle texture and glaze crackle, adding to its character and depth.

Signed  “Joan” near the base, the maker remains unknown—but the care and individuality in the piece speaks volumes. It’s one of a kind: no two brushstrokes the same, no repeat production—just one lovely, singular object made by hand.

Perfect for a few gathered stems or to stand alone as a sculptural piece. It belongs in thoughtful, well-loved spaces—ones that celebrate slow living, storytelling, and the beauty of folk art.
