The piece was raised on a potter's wheel and fired at high kiln temperatures to achieve dense vitreous durability. Its dark, grain-textured surface body contrasts with the reactive ochre-yellow glaze, creating a natural drip aesthetic achieved during the molten glaze phase in the kiln. The bottom of the vessel carries an incised studio maker mark monogrammed \"DC\", signifying hand-crafted artisan origin and singular authenticity within modern studio craft movement traditions.\u003cbr\u003eCondition \u0026amp; Surface Character\u003cbr\u003eThe vessel retains excellent structural integrity with no chips, hairline cracks, or structural restorations. The matte stoneware body displays natural micro-pitting, speckled mineral variations, and subtle surface firing color shifts inherent to artisanal handcrafting. The glaze remains bright and securely bonded along the rim, and the flat base features clear black artist glaze brushwork.\u003cbr\u003eDimensions, Shipping \u0026amp; Display\u003cbr\u003eHeight: 3.8 inches\u003cbr\u003eWidth\/Diameter: 3.2 inches\u003cbr\u003eDepth: 3.2 inches\u003cbr\u003eWeight Profile: Solid \/ Moderate\u003cbr\u003eShipping: Free Standard Shipping (Fully Insured \u0026amp; Securely Boxed)\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Belle Afrik Arts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":60049578426654,"sku":"BA-0253","price":55.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1081\/5176\/7326\/files\/il_fullxfull.8491710122_svt0.jpg?v=1790371360","url":"https:\/\/belleafrikarts.com\/products\/vintage-studio-pottery-stoneware-vase-hand-thrown-ochre-drip-glaze-signed-dc","provider":"Belle Afrik Arts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
