Exquisite and breathtaking. This piece had to have been meticulously fired because the ENTIRE vase is glazed. There's 3 tiny little spots on the bottom where the tripod brace had to have been positioned. I have a BFA and honestly our weell known sculpture prof would have struggled to create pieces as outstanding. There doesn't seem to be any signature or markings of ID but I won't be surprised to find out it's a master craftsmans work. Am doing continuing research and if the maker is obvious to you or the region of the world please educate us!! UPDATE:::I've discovered it to be a highly valued and extremely collectable type of Art Pottery by a world renowned company. Don't be afraid to make an offer we accept a LOT of them!
