Unwrapped Vase

Welcome to the Unwrapped Collection, where each ceramic piece is a mystery waiting to be revealed. I can't predict the exact result, as each piece is shaped by the unpredictable interaction of organic materials during the firing process. The final appearance remains hidden until you unwrap your chosen piece, making each one a unique journey of discovery.

If you're unsure about this particular vase, please know that there are many other vases already unwrapped and available for you to choose from. If you're still uncertain, feel free to reach out to me for guidance.

This elegant ceramic vase is entirely wheel-thrown and crafted using the Saggar firing technique. It’s carefully finished with three layers of terra sigillata, giving it a soft, natural sheen, while the exterior remains unglazed to retain its raw, organic beauty.

Each vase undergoes bisque firing followed by Raku firing in a specialized kiln. The Saggar firing process, involving organic materials like salt and leaves, creates the vase’s unique surface patterns and colors.
