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.
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.

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.

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.

This handmade crystalline ceramic vase features a mesmerising galaxy-like glaze across the upper section, where tiny micro-crystals shimmer within a soft green field. Each crystal has formed naturally during the controlled firing process, making this piece completely one-of-a-kind.
The glaze graduates beautifully from a lighter, crystalline green at the top to a deeper forest green toward the base, creating depth and movement through the form.
The top interior slopes gently inward, finished in a glossy blue-green glaze that pools softly around the opening — a subtle detail that enhances both design and functionality.
Height: 17.5 cm
Width: 8 cm
Material: Porcelain
Technique: Wheel-thrown and crystalline glaze fired
Finish: Glossy
Watertight: Yes
The upper crystalline section carries a galaxy glaze effect — delicate micro-crystals scattered like stars across the surface. Larger organic crystal blooms appear throughout the body, each edged naturally during firing.
Crystalline glazing is both artistic and scientific. The kiln is programmed to precise temperature holds to allow crystal growth. No two firings ever produce the same result.
This is not mass-produced pottery. It is a slow, considered process from throwing to trimming, glazing, and refiring.
Perfect as a statement bud vase
Ideal for a single stem or minimal arrangement
Beautiful as a sculptural standalone piece
A unique gift for housewarmings, birthdays or collectors of handmade ceramics
Created in my Melbourne studio, this piece reflects my passion for combining organic beauty with precision glaze chemistry.
Every Buxton Pottery piece is individually made — no moulds, no replication.
Wipe clean with a soft cloth
Hand wash recommended
Avoid harsh abrasives
Carefully packaged for safe delivery.

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.
One of a kind. You’ll receive the exact vase pictured.

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.
Height: 23 cm
Belly width: 14 cm
Rim diameter: 13 cm
Material: Porcelain
Technique: Wheel-thrown and crystalline glaze fired
Finish: Glossy
Watertight: Yes
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.
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.
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.
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.
Watertight and suitable for fresh flowers
Hand wash recommended
Avoid abrasive cleaners
Display out of direct prolonged sunlight
Carefully packaged for safe delivery.
Dispatch within 2–3 business days.
