The scene evokes both isolation and resilience, beautifully captured through layered glazes and painterly slip work.

Crafted from coarse speckled stoneware, the vessel combines abstract expressionist surface design with a distinctly narrative subject — a hallmark of 20th-century studio ceramics. Signed on the underside (partially legible), likely by an American or European studio potter active between the 1960s and 1980s.

The interplay of cobalt, gray, and iron oxide tones creates rich textural depth, making this vase as compelling as a sculpture. Perfect for collectors of artisan ceramics or coastal-inspired interiors.
