About MeStoneware cut bottle vase with tall ovoid body, broad shoulder and short everted neck. The rim is pulled to create a broad lip. Thickly potted foot-ring. The facetted sides are formed by the potter cutting broad vertical bands through the clay from shoulder to foot before firing.
Glazed all over in a basalt black tenmoku over a mid brown glaze. The mid-brown glaze shows through the edges of the facets and around the base, above the foot-ring. The lip, neck and shoulders are additionally glazed in a thick pale blue and white ash glaze, probably hawthorn, which runs down the neck and over the shoulder.
