Wheel thrown by the makers at Al Centro Ceramica, this vase is formed from a mixture of local clays and glazed only on the inside, leaving the outer surface raw and tactile. The classic rounded urn shape draws up to a short, open neck, an honest, grounded form rooted in traditional pottery.

What gives the piece its character is the clay itself. Rather than a colored glaze, the earth tones come from the natural minerals in the clay reacting to the heat of the kiln. The intensity shifts with the fire, so tones range across a single finish and vary even within the same batch. The result is a warm, organic terracotta with depth no glaze can replicate.

Style it with dried stems or let it sit as a quiet sculptural object on a shelf, mantel, or table.

Because each vase is wheel thrown and fired this way, color and texture vary from piece to piece. No two are identical.
