A polished, cream-colored travertine vessel swells into a bulbous body beneath a tall, cylindrical neck. A flat lid sits atop a flared rim, while the base tapers to a small, narrow foot. Wavy, horizontal bands of tan and white ripple across the surface, highlighting the stone's natural layers. These organic striations wrap around the form in alternating tones, emphasizing the smooth, elegant curve from the wide belly to the throat.
