The vessel’s body curves inward to a narrow, oval mouth measuring approximately 1 × 1.5 inches, creating a fluid silhouette that feels both modern and elemental.

A hand‑wrapped reed handle arches gracefully across the top, secured with tight, symmetrical bindings that add warmth and texture to the piece. The vessel is signed on the underside, though the signature is partially obscured. Its form and surface treatment align with late‑20th‑century studio raku ceramics, when artists explored natural smoke markings and mixed‑material design. See less
