A bold 15.75 lb solid jujube tree root pot, crafted to preserve the natural contours, knots, and bark textures of the original root. Rather than imposing a conventional form, the maker allowed the character of the wood itself to define the vessel, giving it a bold, primitive, and wonderfully organic presence. The root has been hollowed to create a functional vessel and fitted with a custom-made solid wood bottom, beautifully integrated into the piece. The warm, richly patinated surface reveals dramatic variations between smooth grain and rugged natural root formations, making every side visually distinctive.
