The square, hand-built body reveals the warm, textured clay, intentionally left unglazed to emphasize its earthy materiality. Along the upper section, Culot applied a deep green-brown ash glaze that pools around the rim and descends in expressive drips — a characteristic result of his high-temperature firing process. These natural variations in glaze tone and surface movement make each of his works unique, and this example shows particularly strong definition.

The vase is impressive in both scale and presence, making it a standout piece for collectors of postwar studio ceramics. Its condition is excellent, with no cracks or restorations, only minor, age-appropriate wear at the base consistent with Culot’s hand-built practice.
