Description
Set of 4 vintage hand-thrown studio pottery wine goblets. Featuring a cream-glazed tulip-shaped cup atop a striking tapered pedestal base with deep horizontal ribbing. The bases are finished in a dark teal/blue-green reactive glaze. These pieces offer a substantial weight and a Brutalist-meets-Bohemian aesthetic, perfect for a mid-century modern or eclectic home bar.
Key Features
Hand-thrown uniqueness, trendy Brutalist texture, desirable teal/cream colorway, and a complete set of four which is harder to find than singles.
Authenticity Indicators
Hand-turned rings inside the bowls and visible throwing marks on the pedestal. High confidence that these are genuine studio-made pieces rather than mass-produced factory items.
Flaws to Note
Minor glaze pinholes or slight variations in height are common in studio pottery and are not considered defects but signs of being handmade.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Etsy is the best venue for vintage handmade items. eBay or Poshmark are good secondary options for broader reach.
Selling Tips
Highlight terms like 'Studio Pottery', 'Hand Thrown', 'Brutalist', and 'Boho' in the title. Take a photo of the bottom of the goblets to show any potter's marks or the raw clay foot, as collectors look for these details.
