Ben Billy works in terracotta here, finishing the surface in a deep mahogany overglaze polished to a soft sheen. The result is a warm, earthy piece where the lighter orange of the hand-etched designs pops against the dark background. No horsehair, no gradient. Just the carving.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe form is the classic squat seed pot, wide and low at 3.68 inches tall and 4.39 inches across. Fine-line vertical motifs cover the upper shoulders, a staircase pattern runs through the center band, and a continuous wave or serpent line circles the lower section.
