Vintage Japanese Studio Pottery Bud Vase, Mingei Style (c. 1960s–1980s)

Likely dating to the 1960s–1980s, this charming Japanese studio pottery bud vase embodies the simplicity and craftsmanship of the Mingei folk tradition. The petite stoneware form is decorated with hand-applied cobalt blue and iron-toned dots beneath a soft speckled glaze, creating a playful yet timeless pattern. The original worn foil label on the underside indicates Japanese manufacture, while its compact silhouette makes it ideal for displaying a single stem or styling on a shelf, desk, or bedside table.
