Featuring a flared, volcano-like base, the piece exhibits a powerful Brutalist energy softened by organic, hand-molded undulations. The dark, charcoal-gray stoneware body is beautifully contrasted by a striking white band at the neck and intricate, carved vertical facets along the base. Each carved ridge is crowned with a shimmering metallic gilt tip, adding a layer of sophisticated luxury to its earthy, primeval aesthetic. Subtle hints of turquoise glaze peek through near the foundation, showcasing the experimental glazing techniques characteristic of high-quality mid-century studio art.


Perfectly suited for a mantle, dining table, or curated gallery shelf, this sculptural taper holder serves as both a functional object and a standalone work of art. The piece measures 4.25 inches in diameter at the base and stands 3.75 inches high. It remains in excellent vintage condition, exhibiting minor surface scuffs and textural firing variations that add to its authentic artisanal character and storied patina.
