The Terra Ovoid Vase is an object designed to be held as much as looked at.
The terracotta clay body is thrown and then hand-compressed from the outside while still soft, creating the characteristic organic roundness of the form. The matte slip glaze is applied by brushing in a single coat, producing the textured stone-like surface that reads differently under natural versus artificial light. The wide mouth is deliberately proportioned to accept a single large-stemmed flower or a loose arrangement of dried botanicals.
