Description
This piece is a genuine original—a visually stunning, one-of-a-kind vessel defined by its striking details and capturing both energy and movement achieved through the unique art of sgraffito. Inspired by Indigenous Australian art.
The design process for this piece focused on capturing movement and flow. The intricate, hand-carved pattern, created using the sgraffito technique (where a layer of ceramic paint is scratched away to reveal the clay underneath), creates a sense of movement, as if the lines are constantly swirling. This high level of detail ensures that the piece is visually engaging from every angle, inviting viewers to follow its story as they turn it in their hands.
Crafted using white stoneware clay, this vessel is both beautiful and robust. It is finished with a high-gloss glaze, which enhances the intensity of the sgraffito pattern and adds a vibrant, reflective quality that catches the light beautifully. The glossy finish beautifully contrasts with the intricate complexity of the carved design.
While the sgraffito design evolved organically, its powerful graphic quality lends it an intriguing, natural sophistication. This vessel is not just a decorative object; it is a captivating conversation starter—a unique piece of functional art for your home or a truly memorable gift.
