Mochaware Urn Vase, Yellow

A favorite of antiquaires and collectors of 19th century pottery, mochaware is known for its gorgeous earth-and-sky colors and for its fabulous (some might say psychadelic) motifs - seaweed, earthworm, cat's eye. We've partnered with one of the country's only potters who has kept alive the tradition of throwing mocha - a complex art in which pigment is added to wet clay to achieve the beautiful patterns of the final vessels - to bring reproduction bowls and cachepots to your table. Mochaware may have had its first home in an English country tavern, but we think it is uber chic in just about any setting. These small urn vases boast a gorgeous handle detail and are perfect for a bedside table, a dresser or a guest bath. They are my favorite gift in our collection at the moment.
