A shallow stoneware dish takes a circular form with a subtle, six-lobed rim. A pale, grayish-white glaze coats the vessel, featuring a dense web of dark gray and fine brown cracks that spider across the interior and exterior. The surface slopes gently toward the center, while small, dark brown spots punctuate the glaze near the right edge, adding contrast to the delicate, fractured texture of the piece.
