Handbuilt Black Clay Vessel – Raw Fired Sculptural Form with Subtle Texture: Ceramic Piece 1747

This sculptural vessel is handbuilt from black sculpture clay and raw fired in an electric kiln. The surface displays soft gradients of texture, with small embedded fragments of Lake Erie shale that create a quietly complex, earthy finish. The asymmetrical rim and organic shape highlight the wabi-sabi philosophy of natural imperfection. Not intended for functional use.
