Handcrafted in matte black stoneware, the design features a wide 14-inch form with a center well that accommodates a flower frog, making it both sculptural and functional. Signed and dated ’90, this piece reflects Smith’s four decades of mastery at his studio, Unique Stoneware. The surface shows one small glaze imperfection (shown in photo 3), a characteristic nod to authentic handmade work. For its age, it remains in excellent condition, carrying the quiet authority of a well-crafted, modern studio collectible.
