Cracked Aurum Vessel

This striking vase is wheel-thrown by hand from durable stoneware clay, then finished with a distinctive copper-dipped glaze that develops a rich, antique gold surface. The metallic finish shifts subtly in the light, giving the piece depth, warmth, and a weathered elegance.

A bold intentional crack runs through the form, becoming a central feature of the design rather than a flaw—evoking the beauty of imperfection and the Japanese-inspired philosophy of wabi-sabi. The contrast between the fractured surface and the luminous gold tones creates a powerful balance of fragility and strength.

Both sculptural and functional, Cracked Aurum Vessel stands as a statement piece—raw, refined, and timeless.
