Thrown from a traditional redware earthenware clay, this piece perfectly embodies the Brutalist aesthetic of the era. It showcases a masterfully executed "Smalto Roccia" (Rock Enamel) finish, where the top half is blanketed in a coarse, frothy volcanic lava crust, dynamically contrasting with a high-gloss orange and black band. The bottom features hand-carved, primitive sgraffito decorations where the reddish clay body peeks through to form a stylized geometric fish motif.
