Handmade Black Stoneware Vessel – Raw Sculptural Texture: Ceramic Piece 1737

This black stoneware vessel is an exploration of raw material and organic form. Entirely hand-built, it showcases a deeply textured matte surface with natural inclusions and subtle, primitive contours. No two are ever alike—each is a singular work of functional sculpture.

Details:

Material: Mid-fired black stoneware clay, Lake Erie shale

Finish: Matte, unglazed surface with tactile grit and embedded mineral speckles

Shape: Rounded silhouette with a softly irregular rim and organic indentations

Care: Wipe gently with a dry cloth; decorative use only (not watertight)

Ideal styled as a standalone sculptural object or filled with dried botanicals, branches, or natural curiosities.

Highlights:
✔️ One-of-a-kind piece, hand-formed and fired
✔️ Primitive aesthetic with a quietly powerful presence
✔️ Rich matte black finish that pairs beautifully with minimalist interiors
✔️ Natural imperfections celebrated as part of the design

Please Note: Variations in texture, markings, and embedded grains are intentional and add to the character of each piece.
