English potter Joanna Still’s smoke-fired vessel is a conundrum. Though it is made of ceramic, it looks like metal, and the mix of shades is amazing—gold gives way to orange, which fades into browns and deep grays. And though it appears to be chunky and roughly textured, it’s rather delicate and smooth to the touch ($795; eskandar.com, 212-533-4200).
