Hand-thrown into a bold, architectural cylindrical form with a tapered neck, it features a dramatic high-contrast palette of matte charcoal black and crackled ivory white. The organic, abstract patterns are a signature result of the rapid-cooling Raku process, where carbonized smoke interacts with the cooling glaze to create a uniquely expressive, one-of-a-kind surface. This piece beautifully embodies the Wabi-sabi aesthetic, celebrating the organic imperfection and raw power found at the intersection of fire and earth.


Perfectly suited for a minimalist mantel, a curated gallery shelf, or as a sophisticated centerpiece in a contemporary office, this vessel adds immediate textural depth and a touch of Brutalist energy. The vase measures 4.25" in diameter and stands 6.75" high. It is in great vintage condition, displaying the subtle scuffs and firing variations appropriate to its age that add authentic character and a storied patina to its artisanal surface.
