Lovely Vintage Studio Pottery Weed Vase in Mottled Blue-Purple Glaze inuit carved bone box is written on the backI know more of you look to me for folk art and curious things than for pottery, but I'm a great lover of functional studio pottery vessels, and a firm believer in the power of a lovely pot, with weed bud vases my favorite of all forms.
