A John Froud pebble vase. This distinctive piece of British studio pottery was created by John Froud, who operated his pottery at Avago Farm in Huntington, York, around the 1980s.
Design: The vase features a unique, organic shape resembling a smooth, rounded pebble. It is characterized by multiple open tubes or apertures on top, designed to hold small flowers or act as a "floral frog" for arrangements.
Material and Finish: It is typically made from stoneware with a textured, naturalistic glaze, often in earthy tones like the beige and speckled finish seen here.
Markings: Pieces are often signed and dated, sometimes with the initials "JAF," typically on the base.
Purpose: These items were produced in various sizes and were intended to house small, individual flower stems, emphasizing the natural form of both the pottery and the floral display.
