Vase #1, Porcelain, Wood Fired

This wood-fired porcelain vase embodies the raw energy of the kiln, where fire and ash sculpt its surface into a blend of earthy tones and soft contrasts. The gold shino glaze on the lip creates a subtle yet striking transition against the deep orange clay body, while striations of white porcelain add an organic visual rhythm.

Measuring 10 inches tall and 5 inches wide, the form is both sturdy and elegant, with natural brown ash deposits collecting at the foot and shoulder. The firing process leaves behind unpredictable yet intentional textures, making each surface a testament to the dynamic interaction between clay, flame, and time. This piece is a harmonious balance of structure and spontaneity, perfect for display or functional use.
