Description
Eviella is an abstract stoneware ornament, a white sculptural form that rises in one flowing curve, has an opening right through its body and stands on two feet with a low arch between them. Every surface is lined with deep, close-set grooves that sweep over the shape like the grain of weathered driftwood, so the piece catches light and shadow wherever it stands. It is 25cm long, 14cm wide and 38cm tall, a substantial ornament rather than a small shelf trinket, and at 2.15KG it has a real, reassuring heft.
At that height it suits a sideboard, a console table in the hallway, a deep window ledge or a low bench in the living room, anywhere it can be seen from more than one side. The form is open and uneven, so it reads differently from every angle and works as well in the middle of a coffee table as it does against a wall. Pale walls, natural wood and woven textures sit comfortably beside it. It makes a thoughtful housewarming gift, and suits anyone who prefers one strong sculptural piece to a crowded shelf of small things. It is purely decorative, a piece made to be looked at and admired.
Stoneware is a dense ceramic fired at high temperatures, which gives this piece its solid body and its weight. The grooved texture runs over the front, the back and the sides alike, so there is no plain face to turn towards the wall, and the opening frames whatever sits behind it. We would give it room: set it alone on a clear surface, or pair it with a tall vase of bare branches and a low stack of books, keeping the opening clear so the wall behind stays visible through it.

Frequently Asked
What material is the Eviella ornament?
It is made from 100% stoneware, a dense ceramic fired at high temperatures, which gives it a solid body and a weight of 2.15KG.
How big is it?
It is 25cm long, 14cm wide and 38cm tall, so it suits a sideboard, a console table or a wide window ledge rather than a narrow shelf.
How heavy is it?
It weighs 2.15KG, which is worth bearing in mind if you plan to place it on a light shelf or a narrow ledge.
Can it be used as a vase?
It is a sculptural ornament rather than a vessel. It has no opening at the top, only one right through its body, so it is purely for display.
Is the back finished as well as the front?
Yes. The grooved texture covers the front, the back and the sides, so it can stand in the middle of a table and look complete from any angle.
What colour is it?
It is white, and the deep grooves across its surface catch light and shadow, so the texture shows clearly from every side of the piece.
