A large-scale sculptural vessel in richly textured clay, built entirely by hand. The form swells into a full, rounded body and tapers to a small, deliberate foot — a balance of weight and lift that gives the piece its presence. Its silhouette is subtly asymmetrical, a trace of the hand working the clay rather than a machine repeating a shape.
The surface is coarse and mineral, left unglazed to hold the warm, rust-toned color of the raw clay. Light moves differently across it through the day, catching the grain and shifting from deep umber in shadow to warm ochre in sun.
At the opening, lengths of copper wire rise and curve outward like a gesture caught mid-air — an unexpected, drawing-like line against the grounded mass of the form. The contrast of soft metal and dense earthen body is what makes this a statement piece: sculptural, architectural, and made to anchor a room.
A one-of-a-kind work, hand-built from scratch with no mold and no two alike. At home in a considered interior, an entryway, a gallery wall of objects, or as a singular floor piece.
Stability note: Because of its scale and rounded base, we recommend securing this piece with museum gel (also known as gallery gel or museum putty) when displayed — a clear, removable adhesive that anchors the vessel safely without marking the surface or the clay.
Dimensions are approximate as the form is organically shaped:
height 21 1/2" including the wire
diameter 13"
Not watertight.
