Jean Paul‎ Stowe Vt Signed Studio Pottery Jewel Scale Vase Modernist

A jewel-scale studio pottery vase by Jean Paul Patnode, its rounded modernist form finished in a deep, glossy black glaze densely freckled with mossy green and golden flecks, glowing with depth despite its palm-sized scale. Founded in 1960, Stowe Pottery under Jean Paul Patnode became a cornerstone of Vermont's studio pottery tradition, valued for thoughtful form and quietly expressive glazes. His work reflects a maker deeply committed to form, glaze, and the integrity of handmade objects.  - Signed on the underside by Jean Paul Patnode of Stowe Pottery, Vermont - One-of-a-kind studio work, not a production form - Rich, high-gloss black glaze with layered green and ochre speckling throughout - Balanced, sculptural profile with a gently flared neck and low, grounded body - Miniature scale—fits comfortably in the palm while retaining strong visual presence - Perfect vintage condition, with no chips, cracks, crazing, or glaze loss  This vase is a quintessential example of New England studio pottery: restrained, tactile, and deeply material-driven. It shines when styled solo on a desk, shelf, or side table, or layered into a curated pottery grouping where scale variation tells a thoughtful collector's story. A piece for those who appreciate craftsmanship that whispers rather than shouts.  jean paul patnode pottery, stowe pottery vermont, vermont studio pottery, signed studio pottery vase, modernist pottery vase, small ceramic vase, miniature pottery vessel
