Hand-thrown from a heavy, earthy terracotta clay, the piece features a raw, unglazed exterior that highlights its tactile, architectural form. The body is defined by bold, rhythmic horizontal ribbing and unique "toothed" protrusions that give it a powerful, sculptural presence typical of the movement.

The base is clearly incised with the artist’s "PM" monogram, the model number "1413", and "Romania". This piece beautifully balances raw, "primitive" aesthetics with the refined craftsmanship of the 1960s-70s European art collectives. The interior is finished with a smooth glaze, making it as functional as it is decorative.

Condition:
Excellent vintage condition. No chips, cracks, or repairs. The raw clay surface retains its original texture and warm, oxidized patina.

Dimensions: 8.25" Tall x 6.5" Wide See less
