Tall Sculptural Studio Pottery Ikebana Vase vintage sensu and a pronounced vertical warp

and a pronounced vertical warp visible on the exterior

is wonderfully worn with a fantastic reddish-brown patina and a great straight handle

Plus that fabulous fin-like mane

but it's still in great shape to hang and fill (great for holding cooking utensils

which I do not believe detracts at all from the beauty of the piece

Tall Sculptural Studio Pottery Ikebana Vase vintage sensu and a pronounced vertical warpI love this piece as much as a sculpture as a vase, but, with three different openings and three different levels, it certainly sets the stage for an infinite array of creative and dramatic arrangements! Striking from every angle, it is made of stoneware and glazed a warm, variegated gray darker and drippy in a few areas in response to the form of the vessel. Really a stunning and beautifully constructed piece. 16" tall x 5 1 2" widest x 5 1 4"
