A handbuilt stoneware vessel in unglazed earthenware tones, formed from curved slabs that arch together into a rounded, leaf-like silhouette. The piece stands on a narrow trough base and widens into two tall, curling fins that meet at the top, enclosing an open channel through the centre.
The surface carries an incised design of radiating lines converging at one point, suggesting a stylized leaf or fan pattern, picked out in a soft grey pigment against the natural clay body. An impressed maker's mark appears on the lower section of one fin, not legible. The piece works well as a decorative object or vessel for a mantel, shelf or entryway table.
