Drippy Blue Glazed Studio Pottery Bud Vase with Banded Design of Black Triangles laquer betel box smiling "good morningThere are many good bud vases out there, and I can't resist snatching them up when I find them.

It's quite different from every view mostly blue from one side, brown and grey speckled from another, with the clay body showing through. Constant all the way around is a black design of triangles with lines through the centers, alternating in direction.
