The piece is wheel‑thrown in a speckled stoneware clay and finished in a layered brown glaze with soft blue‑green highlights that break naturally over the carved geometric band encircling the midsection.
The incised chevron motif adds subtle texture and visual rhythm, while the flared rim and narrow base give the form a balanced, sculptural presence. This is a classic example of 1980s studio pottery—handmade, functional, and richly tactile.
Signed and dated “Heyduck 1987” on the base.
