Part of the Cityscapes Collection, the ceramic vase features deep black and bronze tones.

The hand-built stoneware is about 10 inches tall and is coated in a brown glaze with the highlights rubbed off ($125). A 12-inch square vase, in a rich ivory tone, was hand built from clay slabs pressed into mooring lines. It is made of stoneware and glazed ($130).
