The piece features a striking, bulbous form finished in a rich cranberry-red glaze, beautifully contrasted by a raw, hand-thrown cream base. Its most captivating design element is the architectural, pleated rim; the artist has elegantly folded the clay inward, securing the "pleats" with delicate, lace-like floral medallions. This interplay of high-gloss finish and tactile, sculptural detailing highlights the exceptional craftsmanship and unique vision of the studio potter.


Measuring 6.25 inches wide, 6 inches deep, and 5 inches high, this versatile vessel serves as a stunning standalone sculpture or a unique container for a low-profile floral arrangement. It is in excellent vintage condition, exhibiting a refined patina and minor surface variations characteristic of artisanal studio work. These subtle marks are not flaws but rather the distinguished characteristics of an original hand-made work. Whether styled on a walnut credenza or a minimalist bookshelf, this piece adds a soulful, modern touch to any interior. Elevate your curated collection with this one-of-a-kind ceramic treasure.
