Bractea Vase

A considered exercise in ceramic restraint, the Bractea Vase rises fourteen inches with a quiet authority that asks nothing of the room yet commands its full attention. The porcelain body carries the particular luminosity that only firing can impart — a surface alive with depth, neither flat nor glossy, but somewhere more interesting than either. At eight and a half inches across its widest point, the proportion is deliberately generous, grounding the form so that it reads as sculpture as much as vessel. It is the kind of object a well-edited interior accumulates slowly and keeps indefinitely.
