DESCRIPTION
Part of an ongoing series of ikebana-inspired vessels with gridded mouths which function like flower frogs to create considered floral displays featuring limited stems.
A small, dome-shaped, flat-bottomed vase whose crown is punctuated by a grid of square openings. Finished with a black slip glaze, whose texture looks like snakeskin. Lustrous, rugged top contrasts with its smooth base. One of a kind and handmade by Clam Lab. Wheel-thrown stoneware with hand-built features. Satin finish. Not watertight, suitable for dried floral displays.
DIMENSIONS
4.25" Ø x 4.5" h (9 x 0.5" square openings)
DESIGNER
Clam Lab is the ceramics practice of artist Clair Catillaz, based in Catskill, New York, USA. Catillaz creates tactile, functional vessels of other-worldly beauty. They reflect a profound understanding of materials and ceramic history — drawing from the aesthetic of Wabi Sabi and Japanese ceramics, Scandinavian design and the American studio pottery movement, among others. Each piece features high-quality stoneware, masterful glaze customization and application, a sophisticated firing process, and a skillful integration of hand-building and wheel-throwing techniques. Her latest collection contains some of her largest and most ambitious artworks to date. All are intended for everyday enjoyment and use.
Made by hand. Due to differences in/among monitors, actual colours may vary from those appearing on screen.
