Description
This is a stoneware vase shaped as if soft clay had been gathered and left to fall into deep, flowing folds. The folds run from the base to the rim, where they finish in a jagged, uneven edge, so the top reads almost like a crown of small peaks. It stands 18cm tall and 17cm across. That compact, rounded size holds a short bunch of stems or sits happily empty as an object in its own right. At 1.1KG it has a reassuring weight in the hand. The blue reactive glaze settles more deeply into the hollows and thins over the ridges, so the colour shifts across the surface, and a fine crackle runs through the glaze.
Because it is barely taller than it is wide, it suits low places where a tall vase would crowd the view: a dining or coffee table, a hall console, a deep windowsill, or a shelf among books and other ceramics. The folded outline gives a shelf real texture, and the blue sits comfortably beside white, cream and pale wood, as well as warmer autumn shades. Put a few branches or a single round bloom in it for a loose, natural arrangement, or leave it bare and let the folds do the work. It makes a thoughtful gift for anyone who loves textured ceramics or is setting up a first home.
The vase is made entirely of stoneware, a dense, hard-fired clay, and finished in a reactive glaze. A reactive glaze moves and changes as it fires, so the tone on yours will vary a little from the next, and that variation is part of its character. It does not go in the dishwasher, the microwave or the oven. The styling props shown are not included. For a balanced shelf, set it beside something taller and plainer, so the folds have room to be seen.
