This is one of my newest crystalline pieces—silver crystals floating across a deep red glossy base, created over a red slip and fired to bring out that glassy depth and crystalline detail. 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.

This is one of my newest crystalline pieces—blue crystals blooming across a deep red surface, created by layering crystalline glaze over a red slip and firing to encourage those signature fan-like crystal forms.

The result is beautifully unpredictable: glossy depth, subtle movement in the red, and crystals that catch the light from different angles. The interior is finished in a glossy white glaze, giving a clean contrast and a polished feel.

Perfect as a sculptural statement on a shelf, console or coffee table—and equally lovely with a few delicate stems.
