Mid Century Hand-built Studio Pottery Tall Single Stem Vase victorian chess set but will just let it

but will just let it stand

with the brass (I believe) repousse shining like gold

sewn strips of heavy duty oil cloth to which the bells are sewn

I'm more or less certain the set is 19th century German

Mid Century Hand-built Studio Pottery Tall Single Stem Vase victorian chess set but will just let itA tall, sculptural, hand built studio pottery vase with wheel thrown neck, c. 1960s 70s I believe, signed Trapp on the underside. I love this sort of earthy modern pottery, which perhaps one might also call Brutalist, and myself am often in want of a vessel good for just one long stalk of something. With painterly deep blue glazing on one side, and drippy white on the reverse. 14 1 4" x 3 1 4" x 1 7 8". Excellent condition, no chips, cracks or other
