There are objects you look at… and there are objects you lose yourself in.
This handmade vase undoubtedly belongs to the latter category.
The first thing that strikes you is the color: a lively gradient of deep green, moss green, and blue-green accents, as if you are looking at water where light and shadow gently move. The glaze seems to breathe — here a bit lighter, there more intense, with subtle white flecks reminiscent of mineral deposits or foam on water.
And then that skin… a rhythmic play of impressed circles that bring the surface to life. Not perfect, not mechanical — but precisely because of that, so human, so tangible. You see the hand, you feel the process.
This is a study in texture and technique.
It is also a calming landscape in ceramics.
A playful pattern that continues to fascinate, different from every angle.
