This piece is a tactile study in contrast, where the robust nature of stoneware meets an ethereal form. The form itself reflects the direct process of construction, creating a deeply fluted body and stem that lends the piece a strong architectural foundation. Above, the wide bowl features a complex, speckled glaze that bubbles and pools, offering a stunning textural difference that mimics marine life or aged stone.
Maker’s Mark: Imperfection as Beauty
You will notice a fine line where the bowl meets the stem. This is a natural stress line formed during the high-fire process where the two forms were joined. While the pieces are crafted to be durable, these unique lines are sometimes an inevitable result of the clay’s reaction to intense heat.
For me, these marks are not flaws; they are signatures of the process - evidence of the clay’s life in the kiln. I find that they add to the piece’s history and unique beauty, making it truly one-of-a-kind.
Durable Stoneware, food safe.
