Original hand-carved this pot features the classic, iconic single oversized rectangular drainage hole. The unglazed, iron-rich stoneware boasts a spectacular, rugged "pear-skin" texture and a deep, authentic, decades-in-the-making weather patina.

Structurally, it features a sophisticated inset band along the upper rim and stands on robust, beautifully sculpted stepped-corner block feet that give the massive frame an elegant, grounded presence.
