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

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

A tiny statement piece with a galaxy feel — this handmade mini bud vase features a blue-green, semi-matte glaze scattered with metallic crystalline “stars”. It’s designed to hold a small posy of flowers and looks beautiful styled on a bedside table, sideboard, or shelf.

Each vase is handmade in my Melbourne studio and finished with a specialised crystalline firing process. Crystalline glazes are fired with carefully controlled temperature holds and cooling cycles so crystals can form and “grow” in the glaze surface — a blend of art and kiln science. As a result, each piece develops its own unique constellation of crystals and tonal shifts.

Details

• Type: Mini bud vase (decorative)

• Finish: Blue-green galaxy glaze, semi-matte with metallic crystalline detailing

• Size: approx. 9.5cm (H) x 9.5cm (W)

• Made in: Melbourne, Australia

• One-of-a-kind: yes — no two crystalline results are ever the same

Care

• Decorative use recommended

• Wipe with a soft damp cloth

• Avoid abrasive cleaners to protect the crystalline surface

Gifting
A beautiful choice for unique gifts, housewarmings, birthdays, or anyone who loves handmade ceramics and modern home décor.
