This sculptural studio pottery basket vase is a celebration of craftsmanship and quiet drama. Hand-thrown with a gracefully rounded body and topped with an arched, ribbed handle, it’s both functional and ornamental. The creamy glaze cascades down in honeyed drips, fading into soft blush and sandstone tones that evoke weathered stone or coastal cliffs.
The twisted knot-style attachments at either side of the handle are a beautiful detail—equal parts rustic and refined—hinting at the artist's hand and the intentionality behind its construction. The interior and handle are fully glazed, suggesting a high degree of finish and care in the firing process.
Perfect as a sculptural centerpiece, for dried blooms or branches, or simply as an unexpected punctuation mark on a console or sideboard. A beautiful piece for Japandi, wabi-sabi, or organic modern interiors.
