Hand-thrown from heavy stoneware, the vessel features a relief-carved Greek key or fret pattern that wraps around its bulbous center, providing a rhythmic and tactile texture. The piece is finished in a rich tenmoku-style glaze, showcasing deep espresso tones that break into warm, metallic rust highlights along the architectural edges of the carving. This sculptural vessel perfectly balances classical influence with a raw, earthy soul, making it a sophisticated addition to a curated bookshelf or a modern console.


The vase serves as an evocative standalone art piece or a functional container for seasonal botanicals. Measuring 6.25 inches in diameter and 5.5 inches high, its compact yet impactful silhouette makes it ideal for layering within a desktop vignette or gallery display. It remains in excellent vintage condition, exhibiting a lovely age-appropriate patina and minor surface variations that underscore its unique, hand-crafted origin. The underside bears an incised artist’s signature, marking it as a one-of-a-kind find for the discerning collector. Secure this soulful piece of ceramic history to add a touch of timeless, architectural character to your home. See less
