Its iconic shape and tactile finish make it a perfect statement piece for collectors or anyone looking to add a touch of material art to their interior.

Crafted in ceramic with a rough, highly textured surface that evokes a sense of earthiness and organic nature. The base features a rich terracotta brown hue.

The upper opening is embellished with a glaze applied in concentric circles that create a mesmerizing visual effect. The dominant colors are brick red, intense black, and burnt orange, which blend together to create a pleasing contrast and a "craquelure" or slightly volcanic appearance.

The silhouette is bold and sculptural, with a broad, robust body and a relatively small central opening, giving it a look reminiscent of a flattened "donut" or a smooth stone. See less
