This work is marked by the contrast between the half-crumbled, dark brown outer layer of clay and the thick, white inner layer of glaze. With its third, innermost brown layer protruding at the top, the work reveals its multi-layered structure that characterizes Ueda’s practice. Like YU001, the golden spots on its surface come from the mixture of silica sand and soil in which it was buried during firing.
