Robinson Ransbottom Pottery Vase – 10" Tall Blue Speckle with Handles – Circa 1940s

This lovely vintage vase from Robinson Ransbottom Pottery features the iconic blue-and-white speckled glaze known as “Victoria Blue.” With its classic urn shape, twin handles, and raised Art Deco-style motif on the front, this 1940s piece captures a perfect blend of utility and design. At 10 inches tall and 7 inches wide, it's a substantial accent piece—ideal for displaying dried flowers or simply adding character to a shelf or table. While it does show some signs of age—including a repaired crack on the base and a small, hard-to-spot chip on the rim—it still displays beautifully and brings that rustic Americana charm collectors adore.

Why I Chose This Piece
I have a soft spot for vintage pottery that tells a story—and this vase does just that. The speckled glaze gives it a hand-touched quality, and I love how the shape and raised decoration feel both grounded and elegant. Even with its flaws, I saw so much life and beauty in this piece—it has that cozy, heritage look that works beautifully in vintage or farmhouse-inspired spaces.
