Measuring approximately 17.5 inches tall with a 10-inch diameter at its widest and a 2.5-inch mouth opening, the form evokes classic amphora silhouettes reimagined with contemporary fluidity. The surface is richly worked with layered blue, indigo, black, and green tones, creating an almost iridescent, painterly finish suggestive of stormy skies or abstracted landscapes.

The glaze exhibits variations in texture and color, with transitions that catch the light from different angles. These expressive effects are balanced by the vase's lower section—left unglazed or minimally treated to reveal a smoky, dark earthenware or stoneware base that anchors the composition. The contrast between the matte lower section and the colorful upper body enhances the piece’s visual dynamism.

This handcrafted piece blends sculptural presence with painterly glaze work, making it ideal for display in both modern and rustic interiors. While decorative in its own right, the piece could also be used to hold a dramatic single stem or dried arrangement. See less
