This irregular pot has a hexagonal shape at the top even though the object has 100 sides. The square horizontal effect would normally yield a much more textured surface from the high repetitions, but in combination with the sinewave vertical effect, all of those corners got smoothed out into a more organic, curved form.

When looking at the wet clay form, you can see the thicker layers in the "belly" of the pot due to the vertical effect's Increasing to Middle setting; the amplitude is highest at that point and gently eases into straight, unwavering lines at the top and bottom.

Though hard to visualize on screen, the upper half of this piece has large, subtly-indented "dimples" that are pleasant to hold and add to the organic appearance.

A slab base was added after printing.
