Pair of Hand-Thrown Mid-Century Studio Pottery Chalice Goblets in Speckled Stoneware

This captivating pair of hand-thrown studio pottery chalice goblets beautifully embodies the organic artistry and honest materiality of mid-century ceramic design. Each goblet features a graceful, elongated stem rising to a bulbous cup with a slightly flared rim, all seamlessly shaped from richly textured stoneware. The natural glaze, in tones of warm sand and honey, reveals fine speckling and subtle drips that celebrate the spontaneity of the firing process. Around the transition between cup and stem, gentle hand-carved indentations add a sculptural rhythm, showcasing the potter’s intimate touch and craftsmanship.

Likely made during the 1960s or 1970s, these goblets reflect the ethos of the studio pottery movement—where artists rejected industrial uniformity in favor of tactile beauty and authenticity. Their versatile form allows them to serve as functional vessels, elegant candle holders, or striking decorative accents. Perfectly balanced and pleasing to hold, they exude the warmth and simplicity associated with Scandinavian and American craft traditions.

This timeless pair would make a serene addition to any mid-century, rustic, or organic modern interior. Unmarked but clearly the work of a skilled ceramic artist, these goblets invite both admiration and use, celebrating the enduring charm of handcrafted design.
