The richly mottled brown surface ranges from warm amber to near black, giving the compact vessel the character of an organic fragment shaped as much by the material as by the maker.

Originally retailed by Marshall Field’s in Chicago, the vase dates to the 1970s and embodies the era’s interest in natural materials, hand craftsmanship, and unconventional form. Display it alone on a stack of books, introduce a single dried stem, or place it among pottery and collected objects in a library, garden room, or quietly layered country interior.
