Its architectural and balanced form is characterized by a cylindrical body topped with a pronounced shoulder, creating a silhouette that is both robust and sculptural. The surface is covered with a thick, textured glaze in earthy shades of brown, ochre, and black, with drips and variations in texture revealing expert firing. A discreet incised motif on the central section adds a subtle graphic relief, typical of the formal explorations of the period. This pot embodies a deliberately raw and authentic aesthetic, making it suitable as a decorative object, vase, or statement piece, perfectly suited to a mid-century, wabi-sabi, or contemporary interior.
