Description

The undulating curves of this vase could represent an elongated gourd but it seems that the female figure played at least a small part in its inspiration. Vertical ribs add a rich texture to the shape, while the flambé glaze is revealingly taut. Take note of the beautiful negative space that this vase produces.
