A striking, one-of-a-kind sculptural vessel that blurs the line between pottery and contemporary art. Hand-built in a dynamic, asymmetrical form, this piece evokes coastal movement—like a windswept shell or a breaking wave frozen in clay.
The surface is richly textured with carved circular motifs and a tactile, applied “beaded” ridge that cascades organically across the body, adding depth and visual rhythm. Finished in a nuanced verdigris glaze with earthy undertones, the coloration shifts beautifully in the light—from soft sage to deeper oxidized green.
Signed by the artist along the ridge (illegible, likely a studio potter), this piece embodies the spirit of late 20th-century studio ceramics: expressive, individual, and unmistakably handmade.
Perfect as a statement object on its own or as a vessel for dried arrangements.
