The Octopus Vase (short)
This handcrafted vase embodies the essence of modern design with its organic shape and colorful glaze. Each piece is made from stoneware, ensuring durability and a unique texture that highlights the artistry involved in its creation. Perfect for displaying fresh flowers or as a standalone accent, this vase effortlessly blends function with aesthetic appeal, making it a versatile addition to any home decor. Ideal as a thoughtful gift or a personal statement in your living space, it captures both beauty and practicality in one exquisite piece.
“Sgraffito” is an artistic technique in which a layer of color (usually slip or underglaze) is added on top of the clay while it is still leather-hard. Then the top layer is scratched or carved away to show the clay underneath and to reveal a pattern or design. Once the piece has dried, it is fired in a kiln. A glossy glaze is added and the piece is fired again to a higher temperature.
If you look closely, you can see where all the clay was carved away. It's a long process and can take up to 2 hours to just do the carving (not including the creation of the mug, the under-glazing and the glazing and the 2 firings) Each piece is carved by hand without patterns - these are all my own freeform drawings. Each piece is completely unique and one of a kind. So, even if you see a few pieces with similar drawings, no two are the same.
It is a piece of art.
Each piece varies, but the short vase is approximately 5” tall and 4 1/2” wide at the top.
