This appealing lot features two complementary rustic vessels that embody the warmth of organic modern and wabi-sabi aesthetics. The taller piece is a handcrafted woven basket constructed from coiled natural rattan reed with sturdy vertical bindings, highlighting traditional basketry techniques celebrated in mid-to-late 20th-century vernacular craft. Paired alongside it is a wheel-thrown ceramic planter or crock, finished with a striking dip-glazed deep obsidian black top over an unglazed, raw terracotta stoneware base—a finish popular in modern studio pottery that emphasizes the contrast between raw and refined textures.
