Signed M. Wardell studio pottery vase with a bulbous body, short neck, and flared rim. The exterior is a matte, textured mix of moss green, charcoal, and earthy brown, with glossy cobalt blue splash and drip accents at the neck and shoulders. Inside the flared rim, a mottled teal-green and burgundy-red glaze is flecked in an irregular organic pattern, with cobalt blue drips overlapping the rim edge; deeper in the throat the surface turns dark charcoal.
