This vintage signed V. Banes art pottery vase features a dramatic black metallic-style glaze with sculptural raised floral relief detailing. Though it has the appearance of metal, the piece is glazed ceramic pottery with a high-gloss finish that reflects light beautifully and emphasizes its textured surface.
Signed V. Banes on the base, this vase reflects studio or art pottery craftsmanship and makes a bold decorative statement. Its sculptural form and moody finish make it ideal for collectors of signed pottery or for use as a striking accent in modern, eclectic, or vintage-inspired interiors.
The form is sculptural and balanced, with a wide flared rim, cinched waist, and rounded body. Raised floral relief wraps the exterior, adding texture and depth against the hammered-style surface. The glaze pools and shifts subtly across the surface, creating dimensional highlights and smoky undertones that feel both dramatic and elegant.
Marked on the base with what appears to be a handwritten or artist-applied signature, this piece has the hallmarks of studio pottery rather than mass production. It works equally well as a standalone decorative object or styled with dried stems or sculptural branches.
A bold accent for MCM, Hollywood Regency, gothic, or eclectic interiors — this is the kind of piece that anchors a shelf instead of blending in.
