A fab 1970s Canadian art pottery bulbous vase. Its by Blue Mountain Pottery - they specialised in retro animal figurines and ornaments, mostly sold as tourist ware, with their distinctive liquid glazes.
Red clay base with a unique, trademarked glazing process known as 'reflowing decorating'. Two different liquid glazes, one light and one dark in colour, were applied. During the firing process the glazes would run, creating streaking and bleeding patterns unique to each piece. This piece has the green and black glazes - it drips through mossy and forest greens, with a splash of duck egg, before the black base. It's all very glossy and liquid and smooth and tactile. Inside is also green. The black is iridescent in places near the base. It's a typical mid century styled simplified shape, not unlike a West German vase design.
It's mid sized 21.5cm (taller than many), and in excellent condition. 10cm widest at the belly x 6cm rim. The long inner neck narrows to 3cm so suited to just a few stems if used. 
Excellent with no chips or scratches or crazing. With Blue Mountain Pottery there are deliberate runs and patches and irregularities in the glaze, all part of the appeal and all as intended - see photos. Maker's marks 'BMP Canada' to the base.
Perfect for a mid-century inspired interior, on a teak sideboard or shelf.
