Vintage 1951 Hull Pottery Athena #102 Cornucopia Spiral Ceramic Shell Vase Mid C

A striking piece of 1950s American art pottery, this Vintage 1951 Hull Pottery USA #102 Athena Cornucopia Spiral Shell Vase showcases the sculptural elegance and imaginative forms Hull became known for during the Mid-Century era. Crafted in a dynamic upward-curling cornucopia shape, the vase features a detailed spiral shell motif resting on stylized ocean wave scrolls—an iconic Hull design element.

The flowing ombré glaze transitions from soft yellow at the top to deep blue-green at the base, creating a beautiful gradient that highlights every curve and ridge. The piece is signed Hull USA near the base, confirming its authenticity and collectible value. This vase works beautifully as a standalone display piece, a flower vase, or part of a curated Mid-Century pottery collection.

Produced during the Post-War American pottery boom, this example from the Athena line reflects the era’s fascination with organic shapes, coastal motifs, and bold artistic glazing. Its sculptural silhouette and vibrant colors make it a standout accent for vintage décor lovers, Hull collectors, and enthusiasts of Mid-Century American ceramics.
