Signed "Meneely" Pottery Vase

This signed studio pottery vessel features a sculptural form with a rounded body, tall narrow neck, and an exaggerated loop handle that creates a distinctive architectural silhouette. The exterior is finished in a deep black glaze with natural variations in texture and sheen consistent with handmade ceramic work. The underside carries an incised signature that appears to read “Meneely.” The specific artist attribution has not been independently confirmed, so the piece is being represented as signed studio pottery rather than attributed to a particular maker. Its form and finish make it suitable as a standalone decorative object or as part of a collection of studio ceramics. Condition should be evaluated based on the piece itself, with normal variations and imperfections expected in handmade pottery.
