Hand-thrown and faceted bottle vase by ceramicist Adam Ross, made from black stoneware. Boldly cut vertical facets transform the wheel-thrown form into an architectural, angular vessel, with the upper section distorted to create an asymmetric neck. Finished in a matte dry rutile glaze, giving the stoneware a warm, earthy beige tone reminiscent of ancient stone.
