Ceramic Piece 1766: Black Claybody Vessel with Red Iron Oxide Coating

This handbuilt vessel is crafted from a deep black stoneware clay, featuring a rugged surface with embedded grit (~40%+ of claybody) for a raw, elemental texture. The irregular form and organic contours give this piece a powerful presence, making it equally suited as a sculptural accent or functional container.

• Material: Black stoneware clay with natural grit inclusions
• Texture: Coarse, tactile surface with exposed aggregate pressed against dry red iron oxide 
• Finish: Unglazed exterior for a raw, earthen look
• Construction: Handbuilt – each piece is completely unique

This vessel embodies the beauty of imperfection—intentionally rough, organic, and grounded. Ideal for displaying dried botanicals, using as a tabletop sculpture, or simply enjoying as a standalone art piece.
