Ranura Vase, Small

A compact sculptural object that earns its place on any considered surface, the Ranura Vase in its smaller scale distills the essential tension between weight and refinement that defines work in stone and marble. The name itself — ranura, a groove or slot — hints at the deliberate incision that gives the form its quiet drama, a single gesture that divides mass into conversation. At six inches in each direction, it occupies space with the self-possessed confidence of something far larger, a quality only true material and thoughtful proportion can produce.
