Teal Green Egyptian-themed Slab Ceramic Vessel 1980s This hand-thrown mushroom-shaped ikebana vaseThis is one of my favorite things ever. It's a little ceramic slab rectangular vessel, teal green matte glaze, with awesome incised Egyptian inspired drawings, different on each side . I'm not sure if it was a kid or an artist who made it (it is signed S. B. in childlike block letters), but I think it is a small masterpiece! Primitive and contemporary at once, and just a fabulous object to have around. Dimensions: 4. 5" long x 2" deep x 3. 5" high.
