# Vintage Studio Art Pottery Blue Speckled Stoneware Jar / Vase - Signed EXB
## Item Description
This is an authentic, hand-thrown studio art pottery vessel featuring a striking organic aesthetic. The piece boasts a rich, deep cobalt and navy blue glaze, beautifully contrasted by mottled dark undertones and vivid, reddish-orange iron speckles caused by a reduction firing process in the kiln.
The interior of the vessel features prominent throwing rings and an orange-speckled blue glaze, showcasing its handmade craftsmanship. The base is left unglazed, revealing the natural buff clay body, and is clearly incised with the artist's initials: **"EXB"**.
With its thick-walled, heavy-bottomed construction, this sturdy piece sits beautifully as a rustic tabletop crock, kitchen utensil holder, decorative bulb vase, or indoor plant cachepot. It is in excellent vintage condition with no chips, cracks, or crazing.
