This is a piece by the artist Rena Uda. I purchased it at a solo exhibition several years ago. Please understand that due to the handmade nature of the pottery, there may be some original imperfections. Each piece by this artist is handmade. Please only purchase if you understand and accept color variations and spots. I have used it with care, but I am letting it go due to decluttering. As it is a home-kept item, please refrain from purchasing if you are concerned about minor scratches. It is relatively clean, but as it is a used item, please refrain from purchasing if you are sensitive to such things. I will use recycled materials (reused cardboard, etc.) for packaging and shipping. Thank you for looking.
