At an impressive height of 44.5 cm, this is the rare XL version of the series. Its monolithic presence makes it far more than a functional object—it functions as a self-contained, brutalist floor sculpture.

The vase captivates with its organic, relief-like surface texture in matte black, unglazed bisque porcelain (Porcelaine Noire), whose flowing waves are reminiscent of geological strata or tree bark. The interior is glazed for protection.
