plus still has its glass bottle inside

Below the top eye holes are a second pair of cutouts backed by hide pockets

I really like its rustic-ness and the simplicity of the form--like a cheerio on a barbell

Hand-thrown but unsigned

Beautiful Black Glazed Lidded Stoneware Studio Pottery Vessel bulb planter plus still has its glassJust a beautifully crafted, elegant hand thrown lidded pot, which could be used for cooking and serving, or storing odds and ends, or just for display. I think the combination of charcoal black glaze with soft green around the rim of the vessel and lid and on the lid's center handle is just perfect, and together with the form gives it a bit of an Asian feel, though I believe it is American, signed (incised) PAT on the underside. Very nice. 7 3 8"
