This one-of-a-kind studio pottery vase captures a raw, earthy elegance with its hand-thrown cylindrical form and rustic green glaze. Rich chocolate brown accents and iron spotting give the piece a dynamic texture and a natural, weathered character. A pair of applied, shell-textured clay embellishments create a sculptural focal point on one side, enhancing its artisan appeal. The interior is partially glazed, revealing a deep swirl pattern at the base, while the unglazed bottom retains the gritty texture of the raw stoneware clay. Ideal as a statement piece for rustic, organic, or wabi-sabi interiors.
