A one-of-a-kind ceramic vase created using the ancient Japanese raku firing technique. The surface is deeply textured, with rich tones ranging from warm copper to deep charcoal and subtle metallic flashes formed during the firing process.
Built entirely by hand without a wheel, the form remains slightly irregular and sculptural.

Each piece is made by hand in my Los Angeles studio. Due to the nature of the raku process, variations in color, surface, and form are expected—and are part of what makes each piece unique.
This sculptural ceramic piece is formed by hand, allowing the shape to unfold naturally into a soft, flowing silhouette. Its elongated, organic form creates a sense of movement across the surface, shifting subtly as the light changes.
Finished in a muted, natural palette, the piece emphasizes texture and material — raw, tactile, and quietly expressive. It can function as a vessel for flowers (requires a flower frog) or exist on its own as a sculptural centerpiece.
Designed to sit low within a space, it works especially well on a coffee table, console, or dining surface, where its horizontal form can anchor the composition.
Dimensions are approximate as the form is organically shaped:
Height: 4 3/8"
Length: 13 1/8"
Width: 4 3/8"
Each piece is one of a kind, shaped and finished by hand in my Los Angeles studio.
• Handmade ceramic
• One of a kind
• Sculptural, organic form
• Matte, natural finish
Often chosen by interior designers as a statement object within contemporary interiors.
This ceramic vase is shaped by hand, allowing the form to develop with a sense of irregularity and movement. Its surface carries natural variations — subtle marks, textures, and tonal shifts that give the piece a raw, almost stone-like presence.
Please refer to the photos to see a clay separation on the bottom of the vase.
The form is intentionally uneven, leaning into imperfection and asymmetry. It reflects a wabi-sabi sensibility, where the beauty comes from what is unrefined and unrepeatable.
Dimensions are approximate as the form is organically shaped:
Height: 8"
Diameter on the bottom:4 1/2"

Anna Shipulina
Born elsewhere. Living in Los Angeles. Moving between worlds — cultures, roles, identities. Artist, mother, observer. Always searching for balance between structure and intuition.
No molds. No replication. No production.
Only the moment when the material responds — or resists.
Working with stoneware, I build each form by hand, allowing it to emerge slowly. Imperfection is not corrected. It is kept.
