This is a beautiful lidded vessel made out of Rainbow Tulip Poplar (Liriodendron tulipifera) with Suriname Ironwood (Bocoa prouacensis) threaded cap.

Tulip poplar is the state tree of Indiana, Kentucky, and Tennessee.  It is the tallest native tree of Eastern US.  The wood is generally a non-described off white,but the heartwood might develop color tints from the various mineral aborbed from the soil.  When this happen, we have rainbow poplar.  I wonder what type of chemistries were at work to create such a colorful natural stains in this species.  This threaded vessel has a simple profile to showcase all the swirly colors that look to me like an abstract landscape painting!  Capped with the dark and super dense ironwood for contrast.  This is really one of a kind find!

Dimension (largest diameter x height):  2-1/4" x 4-1/2"
