A striking example of Gordon William Menzies' early studio pottery, this wheel-thrown stoneware vase embodies the restrained elegance that defines his work. It's balanced, architectural form is paired with muted earthy glaze and expressive bamboo brushwork, reflecting his influence of Japanese ceramic traditions. Beautifully understated, the vase captures Menzies' distinctive approach  to form, surface and decoration, making it a timeless piece of Scottish studio pottery and highly collectable. Signed makers mark near base.
