This exquisite blue and turquoise glazed hand-thrown basket is a harmonious blend of ceramic artistry and natural weaving, featuring a woven rim of pine needles and lapis and amethyst gemstones. The base is carefully shaped from hand-thrown clay, giving it an organic, earthy feel with a smooth or lightly textured surface. The woven upper portion consists of meticulously stitched pine needles, creating an intricate and rustic pattern that enhances the basket’s natural aesthetic. Intertwined among the pine needle weaving, gemstones are delicately incorporated, adding subtle color, shimmer, and an element of grounding energy. This unique piece beautifully merges traditional pottery with basket-weaving techniques, making it a stunning decorative or functional artwork inspired by nature.
