Ceramic Vases

Hand-thrown ceramic vases in soft matte glazes, stoneware and terracotta. Forms shaped on a wheel or hand-built, fired and glazed in small batches.

Why ceramic

Ceramic vases feel different from stone — softer, lighter, and shaped by hand rather than carved from rock. The matte glazes we choose are quiet: chalk-cream, sand, faded terracotta, deep clay. They don't compete with what's inside them.

The wabi-sabi influence

Many of our ceramic vases reference the Japanese wabi-sabi philosophy — beauty in the imperfect, the asymmetric, the worn. Slight variations between pieces aren't flaws; they're the point. A small fingerprint in the glaze, a wheel-mark on the foot, a dimpled rim — these are the marks of a piece made by a person.

Pairing

Single-stem ceramic bud vases (8–15cm) suit dining tables, bathrooms and bedside tables. Wide ceramic forms hold dried pampas, palm fronds or trailing eucalyptus. For impact, three vases of different heights and similar tones grouped on a shelf or sideboard.
