Description
A black-ink woodblock print of a single wide-bellied ceramic pot with a flared, trumpet-shaped neck and small lug handles, centered on plain cream paper with a few scattered ink flecks above it. The vessel's surface bears horizontal decorative bands — a scalloped motif below the neck, a frieze of a running horned animal amid sparse foliage around the belly, and a row of triangles near the base — all rendered in bold black silhouette against the pale ground. Below the pot is a column of Japanese characters beside a pencil signature reading "Un'ichi Hiratsuka," consistent with this 1914 woodblock print titled Red Pot from Turkey.
