DescriptionThis sculptural vessel is composed of lobes that follows the shape of an irregular pumpkin. The eye-catching form is further enhanced by green and pink glazes in a soft matte finish, an effect that was likely produced by the artist’s characteristic practice of applying glaze to the surface through a gauze filter. The resulting effect is whimsical, playful, and unique.MarkingsPotter's mark on base, "K"
