AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Cylindrical vase, slightly flared toward the base, molded ceramic, with a surface that is highly textured in relief, evoking bark or lava. The decoration is animated by a thick glaze in brown, black, and olive green, punctuated by runs and fusion effects characteristic of post-war ceramic research.

The body is structured by a vertical band in reserve with cracked yellow glaze, creating a marked contrast with the dark background. The whole is enhanced by two small lateral elements in the form of bowls or stylized beaks, contributing to the sculptural character of the piece.

Dimensions: 23 cm in height, 17 cm in diameter
