The flat, slightly ovoid silhouette is both sculptural and intimate — designed to be held, turned, and admired — and the stone's natural mottling gives the piece an organic, almost painterly quality. Displayed on a shelf, curio cabinet, or alongside other Asian antiques and decorative objects, it reads as a small but deeply considered work of art. Original stopper included. See less
