Tall Sculptural Studio Pottery Ikebana Vase vintage sensu The wood grain is lovelyI 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"
