The form is quietly expressive, with the head gently raised and the body modelled in soft, fluent curves. The cool white glaze catches light in a subtle way, giving the piece a calm, luminous presence.

This is a sculptural object with a gentle visual rhythm that works effortlessly in contemporary interiors. It can stand alone as a focal piece or sit within a minimal arrangement of books, ceramics or natural textures. Its restrained palette and considered form make it particularly suited to Japandi, wabi-sabi, and clean architectural spaces. This piece is attributed to the mentioned designer/maker. It has no attribution mark and no
official proof of authenticity,
however it is well documented in design history. I take full responsibility for any authenticity
