Carved Spiral Vase - Floating Blue on Speckled Buff
This elegant vase showcases masterful hand-carving with a dramatic spiral pattern that flows from base to rim. The graceful hourglass silhouette provides the perfect canvas for the deeply textured surface, where each carved line has been individually sculpted to create continuous movement around the entire form.
The floating blue glaze creates stunning depth and variation, pooling richly in the carved recesses while breaking to reveal the warm speckled buff stoneware on the high points. This interplay between cool celestial blues and earthy clay tones gives the piece remarkable visual complexity that shifts as light moves across the surface throughout the day.
The wide, flared rim and substantial footed base frame the carved body beautifully. The base was intentionally thrown heavy to provide stability for taller arrangements, making this vase equally striking whether displayed with fresh flowers, dramatic branches, or as a standalone sculptural piece. The generous opening accommodates substantial arrangements while the narrow waist provides natural support for stems.
Dimensions: 6" height x 3" diameter
Starry Night Moon Jar - Floating Blue on Speckled Buff
This hand-carved moon jar captures cosmic movement with swirling patterns that evoke Van Gogh's iconic night sky. The spherical form features deeply textured spiral carvings that flow across the entire surface, creating dramatic plays of light and shadow as the viewer moves around the piece.
Glazed in a luminous floating blue that pools and breaks beautifully over the carved texture, the glaze reveals the warm speckled buff stoneware beneath, adding depth and contrast to the cool celestial blues. Each carved stroke was individually sculpted while the clay was leather-hard, making this a truly one-of-a-kind piece.
The classic moon jar silhouette—with its round belly, gently tapered shoulder, and wide opening—references traditional Korean pottery while the dynamic surface carving brings contemporary energy. Perfect as a sculptural centerpiece, statement vase for dramatic branches, or striking standalone art object.

Starry Night Berry Bowl - Floating Blue on Speckled Buff
This hand-carved berry bowl captures the swirling energy of a starry night sky with deeply textured surface patterns that flow around the entire piece. The dynamic carved lines create movement and depth, enhanced by a stunning floating blue glaze that pools in the recesses and highlights the dimensional carving.
Thrown on speckled buff stoneware, the clay's natural iron speckling creates beautiful contrast where it shows through the glaze, adding warmth and earthiness to the cool blue tones. The piece features drainage holes at the base, making it perfect for rinsing and serving fresh berries, or as a colander for herbs and small produce.
The footed base provides elegant elevation while the generous bowl form offers both function and visual impact. Each carved line was individually sculpted while the clay was leather-hard, creating a one-of-a-kind texture that catches light and shadow throughout the day.
