Subject and Style: Pillow-shaped design with concave sides. The surface is divided into functional areas. The decoration is abstract/brutalist, with textured "fat lava" glazes in shades of red, blue, and white, contrasting sharply with the mustard color of the body and the orange edges.

Material and Finish: Made of heavy ceramic (majolica). The finish is a glossy glaze, with bright orange and black trimmed edges, typical of the Midcentury aesthetic.

Base: The base is flat and bears the artist's or manufacturer's handwritten signature, "MRel" (or similar).

Ideal for collectors of mid-century ceramics and 1970s (Space Age) design, as a statement piece for a coffee table or study.
