Wheel-thrown and meticulously hand-shaped, the jar features a bold sculptural lid formed as a stylized foot, giving the vessel a powerful, almost archaeological presence. The surface is finished in a deep, mottled midnight blue-black glaze with subtle cobalt undertones and a tactile, volcanic texture characteristic of Bang’s stoneware. The unglazed interior and the exposed clay band reveal the warm, earthy body beneath, providing a compelling contrast to the dark, saturated exterior. Both functional and sculptural, the piece reads as much like a small monument as a container—an intimate work of art that showcases Bang’s mastery of form, glaze, and material expression. Stamped with artist signature underneath. This piece is attributed to the mentioned designer/maker. It has no attribution mark and no
