Vintage Art Deco USA Pottery Turquoise Trophy Urn Vase (Mold 404)
You did not win an Olympic gold medal today. You did not break a world record, and you certainly did not run a marathon.
However, you did manage to drink a reasonable amount of water, refrain from sending an overly sarcastic reply to a passive-aggressive email, and keep a small houseplant alive for another week. In modern adulthood, that level of restraint deserves a physical award.
Enter this magnificent, robin's-egg turquoise trophy vase.
Featuring sweeping Art Deco double scroll handles that curl upward like dramatic swan necks, this fluted ceramic urn is pure vintage theatricality. The high-gloss aqua glaze pooled beautifully over the vertical molded panels, creating rich color depth. Stamped on the underside with "U S A 404," this piece brings instant 1940s/50s American art pottery charm to any room.
Display it completely empty as a monument to your daily achievements, or fill it with fresh flowers to give your living room a pop of mid-century coastal color.

A Note About Vintage Items & Their Little Crimes
Many of the treasures at Honeyblue Hollow come from estate sales, flea markets, and consignment shops where interesting things wait to begin their next chapter. Because they existed long before they found me, their pasts are checkered.
Vintage means used: Expect honest, authentic character consistent with age and previous love.
The Smell & Storage Factor: My workspace is pet-friendly and smoke-free. Buyers with extreme sensitivities should review the full Vintage Items & Allergens note in my Shop Announcement.
