Vintage Wedgwood Green Glaze Fluted Cups, Pair, Small Vases or Cachepots, England c. 1965

Small vessels like these show off a glaze better than almost anything else. This pair, made by Wedgwood in England around 1965, pairs simple forms, one gently flared on a footed base and one straight-sided with a scalloped, deeply ribbed profile, with a remarkable olive green surface flecked with iron and finely crazed throughout. The molded fluting on both gives the glaze somewhere to gather and darken, so the color shifts as you turn them. Each is stamped underneath with the Wedgwood of Etruria and Barlaston mark, and the pair retains a Rubin collection provenance sticker. Useful on a desk for pens, on a vanity for brushes, or planted with a small fern.
