This vase is probably the oddest item I have ever found and actually bought; I found it about two years ago at a thrift shop.

At first, I didn’t like it a lot, and I nearly passed it up, but it’s so different that, over time, it has grown on me.

It’s  a green, white, and blue striped vase with handle, with a “crackle” finish.

There is a signature on the bottom, but it’s an unreadable squiggle.

It looks old, but it just could have had a rough life (when I acquired it, it smelled like cigarette smoke), obviously well-used.

Has anybody seen this kind of ceramic, and, if so, does anyone know anything about it?

I looked on the internet, but I found nothing about this type of ceramic.

In my search, I may be using incorrect terminology, or it could be a homemade, one-of-a-kind, item.
