I am intrigued by this vase. While I am not typically drawn to "tribal" decor, this vase reveals a slightly different approach. Perhaps the diamond-form shields and scalloped gadrooning give it a "Roman Empire" bearing (in my eyes). I also find the glazing unique—pools of glassy citrus green resting in the crevices between pronounced, textured cork-like elements. My mind wanders to a parched, sandy David Lean landscape with just a promise of spring green struggling through. Life always finds a way! The vase was made by Bay in West Germany in the 1960's or 1970's. Find out more about it by clicking on the photo above.
