This tall, slab-built stoneware vessel from the ROOTS collection serves as a monolithic canvas, blending raw geological textures with painterly, abstract details. Its form suggests an artifact reclaimed from a shifting landscape, where organic and geometric elements converge. One face features a large, hand-etched circular arc that bisects the vessel, reminiscent of celestial paths or ancient cartography. The exterior is a rugged terrain of pitted craters, fine sgraffito lines, and raised mineral deposits that provide significant tactile depth. Clusters of bright yellow lichen-like textures and a singular, deep red "seal" or focal point at the base add bursts of energy to the muted palette. A sophisticated wash of sandy ochre, pale sage, and dusty rose is contrasted by the dark, unglazed interior visible through the irregular rim. This vessel is a centrepiece designed to be viewed from all sides. Its various faces offer a different visual story—from the quiet, blushing tones of the rear to the highly detailed front.Dimensions : 12cm x 4.5cm x 18cm (W x D x H approx) |
