Description

Thin-bodied porcelain sculpture of a take-out container. The container has a square base, and straight sides that flare upward toward the top. There are tabs at the top of each side; one has a rounded tab on the end, and the opposite has a slit in the middle. The tab with the slit is bent outward. Two of the box's sides are molded to look like folded paper, and a wire handle is inserted at the overlap point. The bottom is marked, "c. Potok".
