Handled Ceramic Pot – Studio Work 1960’s–70’s

A heavy, handthrown pot with a strong, sculptural handle. This piece has a primal, earthy energy — like a relic from some forgotten forest ritual. The surface is glazed in rich, rusty browns with a matte, slightly speckled texture that catches light in a quiet, glowing way. The handle feels raw and tactile, almost like a twisted branch frozen in clay.

While the maker remains unknown, the signature on the base suggests it’s a one-off studio piece, likely made in the Nordic region during the 1960s or 70s — a golden era for expressive, craft-led ceramics. The form and glaze echo the kind of studio work made in small local ateliers or artist workshops, where functionality was often secondary to expressive force.

Perfect on its own or as part of a moody, eclectic grouping. We love how it mixes with both minimalist settings and maximalist shelfscapes — it has presence.

NOTE ON VINTAGE STUDIO CERAMICS - Studio ceramics from the 1960's–70's offer a raw, individual take on modernism — somewhere between sculpture and functional object. While unsigned or lesser-known pieces may not have the name recognition of big designers, they often show incredible skill and originality. We love finding these one-of-a-kind works that bring both character and history into contemporary homes.
