Freeman-McFarlin Mid-Century Gold Footed Vase with Olive Interior Glaze – 1950s California Pottery

This beautiful mid-century footed vase is an excellent example of Freeman-McFarlin California Pottery, known for its striking metallic gold finishes and sculptural forms produced throughout the 1950s–1960s. Similar to documented pieces from the studio, the vase features a warm, gilded exterior paired with a contrasting deep olive-green interior glaze—an iconic combination frequently found in Freeman-McFarlin vases, bowls, and planters of the era. The elegantly tapered chalice shape, ribbed vertical lines, and lifted footed base give the piece a refined sense of proportion and presence despite its compact size.
This vase reflects the studio’s signature Hollywood Regency aesthetic, blending bold metallic sheen with handcrafted ceramic texture. Its warm gold luster makes it an ideal accent for mid-century décor, vintage Hollywood glamour interiors, or collectors of California pottery. Whether displayed alone, holding a small arrangement, or added to a curated grouping of metallic vintage ceramics, this Freeman-McFarlin piece brings both artistry and history to any space.
