Lapid Israel Mid-Century Cream and Black Pottery Vase with Kiwi acid green irregular rim on the kitchen

irregular rim on the kitchen island or at the center of the dinner table filled with calla lilies

though I have found late 19th century Burmese lacquer boxes with the exact same shape and handle

Lapid Israel Mid-Century Cream and Black Pottery Vase with Kiwi acid green irregular rim on the kitchenThis mid sized, hand thrown mid century vintage pottery vase features hand painted birds kiwi, I believe repeating around its perimeter. I love the wonderfully graphic treatment of the birds, rendered in a warm, brownish black, with round bodies, upturned beaks, and charmingly stick like little legs and feet. This piece was created at Lapid Pottery Works in Tel Aviv, Israel, a pottery founded shortly after the state of Israel was formed post WWII in
