Black Crest Lidded Vessel

Black Crest Lidded Vessel by Albertina Lopez Ramirez blends balanced geometry with organic artistry. Hand-shaped from natural clay and adorned with black slip decoration, the piece features rhythmic patterns carved directly into the surface — from crest-like curves around the body to vertical strokes and bead-like details encircling the neck. The fitted lid adds dimension and ceremonial presence, with a sculpted knob painted to echo the vessel’s linear designs.
Sculptural flourishes at the shoulders of the pot give it a grounded, timeless feel — making this piece a versatile addition to any collection of fine artisan pottery. It speaks to heritage, function, and visual rhythm.
