This masterfully hand-thrown, one-of-a-kind piece from 1981 captivates with its archaic, powerful form, featuring a monumental, spherical body and an elegant, ring-shaped neck.

The unglazed underside of this collector's item bears the original incised monogram "gl" and the year of manufacture, "81." a striking, unique object for connoisseurs of sophisticated modern workshop ceramics.
