Description
A variation on the moon jar form, this vessel reflects Papworth’s ongoing exploration of volume, surface, and restraint. Hand-thrown in stoneware and finished in a matte black glaze, the surface is interrupted by small inlaid chips of porcelain, creating a quiet contrast in tone and texture. The rounded body tapers subtly at the base and opens to a clean, wide rim, giving the piece a balanced and considered presence.
