Hand-coiled in terracotta and decorated with a thin white slip, this vessel features a loose harlequin motif in madder brown, applied using a spongeware technique. The surface pattern draws from 18th-century papiers dominotés—French block-printed papers used for book linings and early wallpapers—and the English tradition of sponge-decorated pottery. The form is expressive and intentionally irregular, with subtle interior detailing and a softly undulating silhouette that celebrates the handmade.
Each piece is crafted by British ceramicist Sophie Wilson, founder of 1690, and produced in small batches exclusively for Arte House.
