This is a beautiful, highly textured vintage Mid-Century Modern era studio pottery cachepot / planter. Found at an estate sale alongside high-end mid-century European art pottery and furniture, this piece features an organic, slightly oval form wrapped in a striking, thick honey-amber/ochre crackle glaze.
