This is a hand-built vase in white stoneware — a sculptural clay that fires to the sandy color with no glaze at all. Texture is the whole point of this piece. The clay already has a lot of grit and movement in it, and I built up even more across the top, so the surface breaks into rough, cratered patches that catch the light and shift as the sun moves through the room.
It's a large piece, meant to hold a room on its own — a statement vase for an entryway, a big table, a mantel, a pedestal in a gallery-like space. It reads well in a pared-back interior where the texture can do the talking, and it holds its own next to raw materials like wood, stone, and linen.
Hand built, no mold, no wheel. The shape is a little off-round and top-heavy on purpose — I like when a form looks like it's holding its balance.
One of a kind. Decorative, not watertight.
Dimensions are approximate as the form is organically shaped:
Height: 11 1/4"
Diameter on the top 10 1/2"
