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

Bring quiet drama and natural elegance into your home with this large handmade crystalline vase, crafted in my Melbourne studio. With its tall, sculptural silhouette and softly flared base, this piece is designed to stand confidently on its own as a statement object.

The deep green glaze has a remarkable sense of depth, with floating crystal formations suspended beneath a smooth, highly reflective surface. The crystals appear dark and tonal, emerging subtly as the light moves across the vase — creating a sense of movement and quiet complexity that is difficult to fully capture in still photographs. A short video has been included to better show the mirror-like finish and crystal detail.

Each crystal has grown naturally during a carefully controlled firing process, where temperature and timing are held with precision to allow the crystals to form and bloom within the glaze. No two crystalline pieces are ever the same, making this vase truly one of a kind.

To further enhance the visibility of the crystal formations, this vase has been gently acid etched after firing. This controlled surface treatment subtly refines the glaze, allowing the crystals to stand out through contrast rather than colour, while maintaining a smooth, reflective finish. The process does not affect the structure or strength of the vase.

Beautiful as a sculptural centrepiece, this piece also works effortlessly with tall flower stems or dried branches.

• Tall, elegant silhouette with flared base

• Deep green crystalline glaze with floating crystal formations

• Smooth, mirror-like surface that reflects light beautifully
