Each surface is intentionally rough-worked, with a grid-like patchwork that highlights the artisan’s hand and adds a tactile, almost textile-like quality to the clay. The cylindrical neck contrasts beautifully with the squared body, bringing balance and a strong, modernist presence.

Rendered in warm desert tones—burnt sienna, clay brown, and muted terracotta—the vase embodies the raw, natural aesthetic popular in 1980s–1990s ceramic art. The piece is signed LJM on the base, consistent with the maker’s organic, sculptural pottery style.

A statement form that stands beautifully on its own or as part of a curated ceramic collection—perfect for modern, wabi-sabi, brutalist, or naturalist interiors.
