Hand-built from substantial stoneware, the piece features an asymmetric, blocky form that feels like an architectural relic or a geological specimen. Its surface is expertly detailed with impressed linear motifs and leaf-like carvings, all finished in a warm, sandy-tan glaze punctuated by subtle, earthy tonal shifts and metallic splashes. The raw, tactile quality of the ceramic reflects the expressive artisanal spirit of late 20th-century studio art, making it a powerful textural statement for a curated bookshelf, mantle, or professional office suite.


Measuring 4.75 inches long, 2.75 inches deep, and 4 inches tall, this versatile sculpture is perfectly scaled to anchor a minimalist desktop vignette or serve as a sophisticated paperweight. It is in excellent vintage condition, exhibiting a refined patina and minor surface variations appropriate to its age and hand-crafted origin. These natural characteristics are the hallmark of original studio work and add significant character to the piece. Signed by the artist on the underside, this evocative masterwork is a soulful addition to any discerning pottery collection. Secure this one-of-a-kind designer treasure today. See less
