This sculptural ceramic piece features a naturalistic shell motif with layered, flowing contours and an iridescent glazed surface that shifts subtly in the light. The form combines decorative appeal with functional design, making it suitable as a display centerpiece or serving vessel. The signed and dated underside confirms studio origin and mid-1970s craftsmanship, adding collector interest for fans of signed studio pottery and personalized ceramic works.
