This piece is a masterpiece where unique textures and colors are harmoniously blended. Though it fits in the palm of your hand, its presence is overwhelming. The contrast between the bluish glaze and the earthy tones spreading in the center gives the impression of a slice of natural scenery. The surface features fine cracks and glaze flows, adding a sense of depth and history to the piece. The natural curves extending towards the base provide a sense of softness and balance to the overall form, highlighting the beauty that only handmade craftsmanship can achieve.
