The vessels are coated in Liebermann’s highly coveted, elusive running turquoise glaze—a deep, vibrant teal pool that beautifully transitions into smoky sea-green currents inside the basin, punctuated by organic iron-brown bleeding that hugs the rolled rims. The physical documentation provides absolute ironclad proof of provenance. The unglazed terracotta base footprint of one vessel features the sharply hand-incised script signature reading \"Liebermann,\" carved directly into the damp clay before its initial kiln run, while the matching companion bowl features a clean, un-signed base ring showing the identical clay swirl and glaze template. Entirely free from modern cracks or hairline fractures, this gorgeous matching pair is an elite, functional archive find for a mid-century modern design purist or an avid studio pottery collector.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOriginal Intended Use: Premium artisan cigar, pipe, or cigarette studio ashtrays. Alternate suggested use: Exquisite catch-all vanity dishes for jewellery, architectural soap dishes, or stylized trinket bowls to inject rich mid-century colour into a curated interior.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Shift2ThriftVintage","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47076109287622,"sku":"Listing 003-September-2026","price":850.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0748\/2163\/2198\/files\/Listing003-September-2026-LiebermannPottery-TurquoiseGlazeAshtrays_3.jpg?v=1788232148","url":"https:\/\/shift2thriftvintage.co.za\/products\/liebermann-hand-signed-mid-century-turquoise-glaze-ashtrays-2","provider":"Shift2ThriftVintage","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
