Vintage MCM 1970s Drip Glaze Vase Orange Brown Tortoiseshell Splatter Planter

MCM Import / Made in Japan Pottery: The unglazed tan bottom foot with a lightly brushed finish, paired with the distinctly thick, glossy white interior glaze featuring fine overall crazing, is characteristic of mid-century Japanese export art pottery (circa late 1960s to 1970s). These pieces were typically marked only with a paper foil label on the unglazed base, which washed or peeled off over time. Internal Drainage Pin-Holes: The interior shot reveals two small structural holes near the inner rim. These are production pin-holes designed to vent steam from the hollow handles during kilning, preventing the thick handles from cracking or bursting under heat. Item: Vintage Double-Handled Ceramic Urn / Vase Style / Era: Mid-Century Modern / 1960s–1970s Retro Glaze Technique: Tortoiseshell Form: Amphora / Double-Handled Urn Planter featuring exaggerated, scrolled side handles, a flared undulating rim, and a pedestal foot base. Glaze Style: Tortoiseshell or Tiger Eye sponged splatter glaze. A deep chocolate-brown base coat is overlaid with a vibrant, high-contrast cadmium-orange glaze applied with a sponge or stipple brush before a thick clear gloss topcoat was applied. Style Associations: Fits into 70s Boho, Mid-Century Modern, Earthy Retro, and Fall Decor aesthetics.
