“K.M.” Small Short Studio Pottery Vase

This charming studio pottery vase showcases a modern minimalist aesthetic with strong earthy character. Hand-thrown and signed “K.M.” on the base, it features a thick-walled form with a narrow neck and rounded shoulder, finished in a soft two-tone glaze. The upper portion is a speckled ivory that subtly transitions into a muted olive-gray, likely created using a natural ash glaze technique. Its low, squat profile and understated palette make it a versatile decorative accent for rustic, Scandinavian, or wabi-sabi-inspired interiors.

Estimated to date from the late 20th to early 21st century, this piece is a fine example of contemporary American or Canadian studio ceramics. It is unsigned beyond the “K.M.” initials, which appear hand-incised into the unglazed base. No chips or cracks noted.
