This squatty hand-thrown ceramic vase is a warm, earthy piece that beautifully showcases the natural elegance of glaze and clay. Shaped on the potter’s wheel from stoneware, the vase features a low, rounded form with a broad body and narrow opening—ideal for a small arrangement of dried stems or as a standalone art object.
The upper portion is finished in a golden brown glaze, rich and luminous with tones of amber, honey, and toasted caramel. The glaze is applied in such a way that it appears to drip organically down the sides, creating soft, irregular trails that suggest the flow of melted sugar or tree sap. These drips thin as they descend, revealing more of the vase’s natural texture and adding visual movement.
The lower portion is left unglazed, exposing the raw, tactile stoneware clay. This unglazed section offers a beautiful contrast—matte, slightly rough, and warm in tone—anchoring the piece and grounding the glossy, flowing glaze above. The line between glaze and clay is fluid and spontaneous, emphasizing the handmade nature of the vase.
The result is a vessel with both rustic charm and quiet sophistication, celebrating the meeting point of fire, earth, and intentional artistry.
