DESCRIPTION
Part of an ongoing series — "Ridges" and "Twists" — concerned with vessels in a state of flux.
A flat-bottomed vase whose convex, contracting and twisting walls extrude from a five-petaled base. Delicate flower-shaped mouth. Sprayed titanium ash and copper glazing yield pretty, atmospheric masses of beige, crystalline white, green and peachy orange. Ash collected by family from their property has been added to the glaze; once fired it burns a subtle peachy-pink on the upper joints of the vase. Fluid and dynamic form invites observation in the round. One of a kind and handmade by Clam Lab. Hand-built stoneware. Sparkle and satin finish throughout. Watertight.
DIMENSIONS
9" Ø x 9" h (8" variable opening)
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. Lift before moving to avoid surface marks.
