The surface carries visible throwing rings, revealing the marks left by the potter’s hands during the wheel-throwing process. The clay body has a slightly rough texture, with variations in tone that highlight the raw material beneath the surface. The unglazed interior exposes the natural texture of the fired clay, showing the depth of the material’s composition.

Bold, fluid brushstrokes of dark glaze cascade down the surface, interacting with the form as they flow unevenly. The glaze application creates areas of contrast where the dark strokes break against the raw clay beneath. The unglazed base shows the natural clay with a central indentation from the forming process. The firing process has left slight irregularities, capturing the dynamic energy of the handmade approach. The interplay between glaze and raw clay creates a visual rhythm, emphasizing the movement in form and surface treatment.
