An earthenware vessel takes an oval, basket-like form, molded with textures mimicking gnarled branches. Woven patterns encircle the glossy brown exterior, layered with high-relief green oak leaves and acorns. Two thick branch-like handles extend from the sides, while four stump-shaped feet support the base. Inside, a smooth, bright turquoise glaze contrasts the irregular, wavy rim. The heavy molding and lustrous finish capture light across the organic, faux-wood surface.
