This hand-thrown ceramic vase is a beautiful interplay of contrast, color, and movement. The form begins with a rounded bottle-shaped body—full and gently curved—before narrowing into a defined neck that adds height and elegance to the silhouette. Subtle throwing lines remain visible beneath the glaze, honoring the rhythm of its creation on the wheel.
The bottle portion is finished in a rich teal glaze that feels deep and luminous, with variations that shift between blue-green and oceanic tones depending on the light. The glossy surface enhances the curves of the lower form, allowing the color to pool slightly in the contours and create natural depth.
The neck transitions into a soft gray speckled glaze, offering a calm, stone-like contrast to the vibrancy below. The speckles add visual texture and an earthy, grounded quality. Flowing across this gray surface is a teal swirl pattern that echoes the glaze on the body—an expressive, hand-applied design that wraps around the neck in gentle motion. The swirl adds energy and cohesion, visually connecting the two glazed sections while drawing the eye upward.
The combination of the bold teal bottle, the speckled gray neck, and the dynamic swirl detail creates a vase that feels both contemporary and organic. Whether displayed on its own or filled with tall stems, it stands as a one-of-a-kind piece that celebrates the artistry and spontaneity of handmade ceramics.
