Matte Black Textured Ikebana-style Studio Pottery Vase or Bowl water bird 4ʺW × 4ʺD × 7

4ʺW × 4ʺD × 7

This hand-thrown mushroom-shaped ikebana vase is one of my very favorite objects ever

and as if it might be ancient

or in a grouping with other exquisite small objects

Matte Black Textured Ikebana-style Studio Pottery Vase or Bowl water bird 4ʺW × 4ʺD × 7With its stark lines and textured, charcoal black surface, this ceramic vase feels at once ancient and decidedly modern, and as much a sculptural object as a functional vessel. Use it with a flower frog to create a striking arrangement, as a bowl (for halloween candy? fall leaves or pinecones? clementines? evergreen branches?) or just as a beautiful object for display. The hand thrown vase is signed at the bottom. It was purchased at the estate sale
