Margaret Brown is a Candelo, N.S.W. potter. Candelo is a town south of Sydney in the Bega Valley on the south east coast of Australia. The technique in this vase is a form of ‘agate-ware’ made popular in Japan and called ‘nerikomi’ or ‘kneading’. It is also called ‘neriage’.
“In Japan there are a few pieces from the Momoyama period, and Edo period, as well as Mingei and there was an explosion of it from about 1978–1995 due probably to Aida Yusuke's advertising and to Matsui Kousei who refers to his work as neriage.” - Wikipedia.
For twenty years Margaret Brown’s pottery was domestic. But she enrolled in a Diploma in Visual Arts (Ceramics) at the Australian National University, focusing on porcelain. This little fine porcelain vase comes from the later period. It shows her ability to quickly throw a beautiful form.
It is signed ‘Marg. B.’

Just in the interest of accuracy, to potters (especially in Japan) there is a distinction between "nerikomi' and "neriage," although the two are often confused.
"Neri" is the Japanese root word meaning “to mix,” and "age" is a root word meaning to “pull up,” so neriage is mixed clay that is thrown on a potter's wheel, with the reference being to a pot being "pulled up" as it is thrown. This pot was thrown on a wheel, so is technically neriage.
"Komi" means “to press into,” as in pressing clay slabs into a mold. Nerikomi therefore is used in referring to mixed clay that is used in hand-built pieces, as opposed to being wheel-thrown.
Technically, both could be considered nerikomi, therefore, until the mixed clay is made into its final form. If it's made on a potter's wheel, it becomes neriage, if not, it's nerikomi.
Many thanks CanyonRoad. I will change the heading to Neriage.
Many thanks THOMAS and to RENEDIJKSTRA too for his information on the NERIKOMI technique.
