Interior: Fully glazed and water-tight, allowing for fresh floral arrangements.
Exterior: The exterior is only partly glazed, allowing the raw, gritty character of the black stoneware to meet the smooth, refined finish of the glaze.
Moving away from traditional round forms, this vase is hand-manipulated into an elegant oval cylinder. The narrow neck is designed to support delicate stems, making it an ideal vessel for 'Ikebana-style' arrangements or dried botanicals.
The beauty of this piece lies in the play between light and texture. A single, intentional horizontal trim line encircles the body—a permanent mark of the maker’s tool that celebrates the process of hand-throwing.
