Poppy
A small vase that exists for one reason: colour, and colour made by hand.
Poppy goes where a larger piece can't — between books, on an entry table, a bar cart, a windowsill, a kitchen shelf — and it changes the character of a surface without asking for anything around it to be rearranged. That is its whole job, and it does it well.
What it gives you that a shop-bought coloured vase doesn't is the hand and the glaze: a rim torn open by hand rather than trimmed, and a crawl glaze chosen because it breaks and gathers as it fires, so the red carries movement instead of sitting flat. It's warm and earthy rather than sharp, which lets it hold its own against wood, brass, leather, stone, and paint, in a spare interior and a layered one alike. Style it empty or with a dried stem or two — it's the easiest way into a piece of handmade work.
Hand-built from coils and signed at the bottom.
Materials: Stoneware clay. Warm red crawl glaze over the exterior. Glazed interior.
Dimensions:
Height: 4.5"
Width: 4"
Care: Dust with a soft cloth; hand wash only. This is a decorative vase and does not hold water.
Each piece is hand-built in my San Francisco Bay Area studio, so no two are exactly alike. Finishes may appear slightly different in person due to natural lighting and screen variations. Processing time 2–3 business days.
For international orders, your parcel may be subject to customs fees, import tariffs, or duties on arrival, set by your country's customs authority. These charges are the responsibility of the buyer.
