Tall Sculptural Studio Pottery Ikebana Vase bitossi but very soft and still

but very soft and still holding together everywhere else

and the the sweetgrass on the sides and lip has been twisted and woven in a variety of patterns

with a 1 1/2” inch sewn loop at the top for easy hanging from a dowel

Tall Sculptural Studio Pottery Ikebana Vase bitossi but very soft and stillI 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"
