Sculptural Elegance in White & Gold

This large, handmade crystalline ceramic vase is a true statement piece.

Finished in a luminous white glaze with soft gold-toned crystal blooms, this vase carries an ethereal, almost floral quality. The crystalline formations have developed organically during the firing process, creating layered petal-like patterns that radiate across the rounded belly and into the flared rim.

Subtle soft grey-blue transitions appear beneath the surface glaze, adding depth and quiet movement to the form.

At 23cm tall, this is a substantial, sculptural piece designed to stand alone or hold a dramatic floral arrangement.

Dimensions

• Height: 23 cm

• Belly width: 14 cm

• Rim diameter: 13 cm

• Material: Porcelain

• Technique: Wheel-thrown and crystalline glaze fired

• Finish: Glossy

• Watertight: Yes

The Crystalline Process

Crystalline glazing is both artistic and scientific.

After the initial high-temperature firing, the kiln is held at precise temperatures to allow crystal growth within the glaze. The gold and ivory blooms form naturally and cannot be controlled or replicated exactly.

No two crystalline pieces are ever the same.

Each vase is:

• Thrown on the wheel

• Trimmed and refined by hand

• Carefully glazed

• Fired using a programmed crystalline schedule

This is slow-made, handmade pottery created in my Melbourne studio.

Design Features

• Elegant flared rim

• Narrow sculpted neck

• Generous rounded belly

• White gloss base with gold crystalline blooms

• Subtle interior crystal formation is visible inside the rim

The wide 13cm opening makes it ideal for fuller arrangements, branches, or sculptural stems.

Styling Suggestions

• Statement centrepiece

• Wedding or engagement gift

• Luxury housewarming gift

• Gallery display piece

• Perfect for modern, Hamptons, or minimalist interiors

This vase reads refined, calm and quietly dramatic.

Handmade in Melbourne, Australia

Created in my Melbourne studio as part of Buxton Pottery’s crystalline collection.

Every piece reflects my long-standing passion for combining organic crystal growth with precise kiln control.

The small raised area on the rim is a natural result of the crystalline firing process, in which an excess of zinc and silica has gathered to form the crystal structure.

Care

• Watertight and suitable for fresh flowers

• Hand wash recommended

• Avoid abrasive cleaners

• Display out of direct prolonged sunlight

Shipping

This one-of-a-kind crystalline bud vase is an experimental ceramic artwork inspired by galaxies, deep space, and cosmic movement. Handmade in my Melbourne studio, this vessel developed extraordinary oversized crystal formations during firing, with the crystals growing so dramatically that they have engulfed much of the vase surface.

The result is a mesmerising landscape of flowing charcoal, smoky silver, soft blue, and iridescent galaxy-like tones. Large circular crystalline formations spread organically across the surface, creating a celestial appearance reminiscent of planets, nebulae, and lunar textures.

Its elegant, rounded form and elongated neck make it ideal as a sculptural statement piece or a small bud vase for a single stem or dried arrangement.

Due to the highly experimental nature of crystalline glazing, this piece is completely unique and impossible to reproduce.

Features

• Handmade crystalline glazed ceramic bud vase
• Experimental galaxy glaze finish
• Oversized crystal formations across the surface
• One-of-a-kind artisan pottery piece
• Sculptural, rounded form with a narrow neck
• Handmade in Melbourne, Australia
• Decorative vase suitable for dried flowers or display styling

Size

• Approx. 13 cm tall
• Approx. 10 cm wide at the widest point (belly)

Please Note

This vase is part of an experimental crystalline glaze series. Variations, movement, pooling, crystal growth, and organic glaze effects are intentional and celebrated as part of the artwork.

The inside is finished in a glossy white glaze, giving a clean, bright contrast and making it easy to use for fresh stems.

Crystalline glazing is part art, part science—no two firings are ever the same. The crystal “blooms” are naturally varied, which is exactly what makes this vase special. It’s a striking piece on a console, dining table or shelf, and it looks beautiful styled with a simple floral arrangement.

You will receive the exact vase pictured.

A tiny statement piece: soft teal “galaxy” glaze with dramatic crystalline rings, in a perfectly rounded mini form.

This handmade mini crystalline decorative vase is wheel-thrown and finished in a galaxy-style glaze—a soft semi-matte teal-green base scattered with dramatic crystal “planet” rings in smoky charcoal and steel tones. Each piece is truly one-of-a-kind, with patterns that can never be repeated exactly.

Crystalline firing is where the magic (and the science) happens. In the kiln, the glaze is taken to high temperature and then carefully cooled and held through specific stages so crystals can grow within the glaze surface. The size, placement, and “halo” edges of each crystal are influenced by the kiln atmosphere, timing, and heat-work—so every firing is unique, and every result is a beautiful surprise.

At 10cm tall and 9cm wide at the belly, it’s perfect for styling a sideboard, shelf, bedside table or desk—beautiful on its own or with a single stem or tiny posy. Made in my Melbourne studio, Australia, it’s a special piece for collectors and a memorable, unique gift for lovers of handmade ceramics.

Handmade Crystalline Glaze Bowl – Blue & Orange

This handmade porcelain bowl is a striking piece of ceramic art, featuring a vivid blue and orange crystalline glaze on the exterior and a smooth white interior. Its unique crystal patterns bring depth and movement, making it a stunning addition to your dining table, entryway, or sideboard.

Each bowl is thrown on the wheel, carefully trimmed, and altered before being bisque-fired, glazed, and high-fired. The crystalline finish is achieved through a complex firing process, where the kiln reaches 1300°C and then cools slowly, allowing crystals to grow, a process that can take up to 16 hours. The result is a one-of-a-kind masterpiece.

Perfect as a decorative display piece or as a thoughtful handmade gift.

Details

• Quantity: 1

• Dimensions: approx. 12cm (D) x 12cm (H)

• Material: Porcelain, high-fired crystalline glaze

• Finish: Blue & orange crystalline exterior, white interior

A Note About Seconds

This mug is offered as a second due to a slight dent in the rim, making the opening slightly out of round. This does not impact everyday use and is reflected in the pricing. Please review all photographs carefully.

Handmade in Melbourne

Each piece is individually crafted in small batches. Variations in shape, glaze movement, and finish are part of the beauty and authenticity of genuine handmade pottery.

Care

• Dishwasher safe
• Microwave safe
• Food safe
• Handwashing recommended to preserve appearance over time
