Hand-thrown Stoneware Vase by Jeff Brown, Northwood Pottery Studio, New Hampshire gift for the graduate The Book of Tea isJust a great hand thrown pottery vase by Jeff Brown nice and earthy, with a terrific green glaze around the body, and cream and rust around the neck. I think of this as a perfect everyday vase to keep on the kitchen counter, filled with whatever is in season. Very nicely made, and just really nice. Signed and stamped on the bottom and dated 1999, it measures 6" tall x 4 1 8" wide and in great condition.
