First introduced in the landmark 1960 Blenko catalog, this architectural piece features a straight four-sided rectangular body accented by dramatic organic pinches/indentations along the sides.

The top opening displays a wide, clean rectangular rim characteristic of Husted’s sculptural approach to functional vessels during his tenure.
