Matte Turquoise Glazed Hand-thrown Pottery Vase bowling pins and worked in AmsterdamThis is the sort of vase I would always have on the table or shelf, whether filled with flowers or not the form is just gorgeous, and the matte turquoise surface reminds me of the green patina on an ancient bronze sculpture, while also shifting in character based on how the light hits it.
