Its highly graphic, vertical form evokes both a ritual object and a minimalist column, perfect for a contemporary setting.

The glaze displays subtle shades of olive green, beige, and brown, with a network of crackles and intentionally darker areas, revealing the richness of the firing process. Each face offers a different interpretation of the material, reinforcing its unique character.

A striking piece, ideal on its own, at the end of a table, on a console, or in a bookcase, conceived more as an art object than a simple utilitarian vase.
