California ceramic artist Renee Margolin is known for her incised stoneware vessels which resemble woven baskets with a Southwestern inspiration. This bulbous piece, with concentric circles regularly spaced from top to bottom to mimic a woven pattern, plays with the relationship between clay and fiber, both used for functional containers since ancient times.
