Description
This is a stoneware ornament built from three soft, rounded forms stacked one on another, topped by a flattened oval head with a hole pierced clean through it. It reads as a small sculpture rather than a vessel, made purely for display. The glaze is glossy and finely speckled, and it shades from a lighter green across the top to a deeper green at the base, so the colour seems to settle downwards through the piece. It stands 33cm tall, 18cm long and 10.5cm wide, a height that holds its own on a shelf without crowding it.
From the front it has a broad, curving outline, but from the side it is slim, so it fits the shallow depth of a bookshelf, a mantelpiece or a windowsill. Set it on a coffee table among books and smaller ceramics, or raise it on a stack of hardbacks on a sideboard so the opening at the top frames the light behind it. It suits a living room, a hallway console or a bedroom chest of drawers, and anyone drawn to soft, organic shapes over hard lines. As a gift it works well for a new home or a friend who collects ceramics.
It is made entirely of stoneware, a dense clay fired at high temperature, and at 1.3KG it has a solid, reassuring weight in the hand. The maker notes that, due to the nature of the glaze, colour variations may occur, so the way the green deepens and the spread of the speckle will differ a little from one piece to the next; we see that as part of its character rather than a flaw. For styling, give it some space of its own: it looks best against a plain wall or on pale wood, with one or two quieter pieces and a few stems of dried grass nearby.

Frequently Asked
What is the ornament made of?
It is made entirely of stoneware, finished in a glossy, finely speckled glaze that shades from a lighter green at the top to a deeper green at the base.
How big is it?
It stands 33cm tall and measures 18cm long and 10.5cm wide, so it sits comfortably on a shelf, a mantelpiece or a coffee table.
How heavy is it?
It weighs 1.3KG, which gives the stoneware a solid feel and a settled presence wherever you place it.
Will every piece look identical?
Not quite. The maker notes that, due to the nature of the glaze, colour variations may occur, so the shading and speckle differ slightly from piece to piece.
Is it a vase?
No. It is a decorative stoneware ornament, a small sculpture made for display, and the hole through its head is part of the sculpted form.
