I wanted to make something that felt like it had been sitting at the bottom of the ocean for a few centuries. It started with those heavy, scalloped ridges, and I kept the finish dark and gritty to let the texture do the talking. The white speckles along the edges read like salt, or barnacles — traces of another world entirely.
This hand-built sculptural ceramic vessel has real physical weight and a rough, stone-like surface. It is more sculpture than standard vase — a ceramic art object for collectors drawn to raw materiality and the unapologetic presence of dark stoneware. It works powerfully in a contemporary interior alongside natural materials — on a console, a plinth, a shelf, or an entryway.
Exhibited as part of the San Francisco Showcase 2026.
Hand-built from coils and signed at the bottom.
Materials: Dark stoneware. Rough, gritty unglazed surface with salt-white speckled edges.
Dimensions:
Height: 9.5”
Width: 9.5”
Shipping cost is based on weight — $18 for this item within the US.
Care: Hand wash only
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.
