VTG Shawnee Pottery Square Weave Basket Glaze Cream Vase Model 842 Mid C USA 7"

This vintage Shawnee Pottery woven basket vase features a distinctive square ceramic form with a softly textured basket weave relief, reflecting the practical artistry of mid-20th-century American pottery. Finished in a warm cream glaze with subtle reddish-tan undertones that settle into the raised patterning, the surface shows depth, variation, and character consistent with Shawnee’s molded earthenware production.

Produced during the Mid-Century period, this vase was made by Shawnee Pottery in Zanesville, Ohio, a company recognized for its durable ceramics and imaginative forms from the 1930s through the 1950s. The underside is clearly marked “Shawnee USA 842,” confirming authenticity and model identification. Its tall rectangular profile works well as a decorative accent or as a functional vase for fresh or dried floral arrangements.

Highly appealing to collectors of Mid-Century American pottery, this piece fits naturally into farmhouse, rustic, minimalist, and vintage-inspired interiors. The woven surface adds tactile interest, while the neutral glaze allows it to integrate easily into a wide range of décor styles.
