This hand-shaped terracotta vessel features a high-shouldered, tapered body and a wide, reinforced rim, crafted through traditional Pilin coiling. The exterior is defined by a dense Mozaik arrangement of hand-cut glass shards, depicting lush, overhanging tropical fronds and delicate leaf sprigs in a palette of cerulean blue, moss green, and chartreuse. These glass elements are set into a matte, cement-grey wash that fills the interstices, creating a textured, stone-like backdrop that emphasizes the reflective brilliance of the botanical motifs. The composition reflects a contemporary Balinese artisanal approach to repurposing materials, blending the heavy, grounded form of fired clay with a light-catching surface that celebrates the rhythmic, verdant patterns of the local landscape.
