Embodying the essence of traditional wood-fired pottery, this handcrafted wood-fired ceramic vase is a testament to both time-honoured craftsmanship and natural aesthetics.
 
🪷 Authentic Wood-Fired Craftsmanship – This vase is wood-fired for 30 hours at 1300°C (2372°F), a temperature 30% higher than standard firing techniques. This demanding process results in a firing success rate of only 60%, making each finished piece a rare and unique creation.
 
🪷 Organic Wabi-Sabi Aesthetic – The raw, unglazed surface of this vase carries the scars of flame and ash, capturing the beauty of imperfection. Each firing produces unpredictable natural textures, ensuring that no two vases are exactly alike. The deep, earthy glaze and slightly irregular form reflect the artisan’s connection to nature and the philosophy of simplicity and authenticity.
 
🪷 Versatile & Timeless Design – With its 16cm/6.3in height and 3.2cm/1.3in opening, this vase is ideal for both fresh and dried flower arrangements, enhancing any space with a Zen-inspired rustic charm. Whether used as a functional vase or a collector’s display piece, its timeless presence harmonises effortlessly with both traditional and modern interiors.
 
Each piece is a one-of-a-kind masterpiece, shaped by the unpredictable yet harmonious forces of fire, clay, and craftsmanship.
