Brutalist mid century stem vase

Mid century brutalist flower stem pick vase (flower frog), artisan made and signed. Made of earthenware, it has a fired deep brown semi-matt glaze and small pedestal feet. The pick openings are abstract brutalist style, with the body being a closed barrel. A wonderful mid century decoration piece on its own, or for making a variety of different flower or stem arrangements. In excellent conditon, no chips or cracks. One minor manufacturing defect of a small end or wire exposed in one of the openings (see the photo).
