About the service
I hand-throw flower vases on a potter's wheel in my home studio, tailoring each piece to a specific interior and specific bouquet. Tell me if you need a tall vase for a single branch in the hallway, a wide one for a lush bouquet, a set of miniature vases for the windowsill, or a sculptural accent for the dining table — and I'll select a shape, usually from 12 to 40 centimeters in height.
I work with several types of clay: warm chamotte faience gives a coarse, rustic texture, light porcelain offers noble translucency, and speckled clay shows beautiful tiny flecks beneath clear glaze. Each vase undergoes two firings: biscuit firing, which sets the form, and glaze firing at high temperature, after which the piece becomes completely waterproof and suitable for fresh flowers every day. The glazes range from glossy celadon and deep matte indigo to satin white, warm honey, and textured "volcanic" glaze with drips, if you want something bolder. Send me a photo of your room, a fabric swatch, or a mood board — I'll mix the glaze to match the right shade or combine two.
The vase is thrown strictly centered and symmetrically; the bottom is trimmed by hand at the leather-hard stage so the piece stands stably, and the rim is smoothed so it won't catch fingers or stems. On request, I'll add a carved band, a pattern with wax resist, or a modest maker's mark with your initials at the base. Completion time from sketch approval is usually one to two weeks, because the clay needs slow, even drying and two separate firings. I personally pack each vase: double box, foam insert cut to shape, dense paper padding at the neck and base — the most vulnerable points during shipping. Every package is insured, and if damaged in transit, I'll remake the vase for free. Throughout the process, I happily send photos at the raw clay stage and biscuit firing so you can see how your vase comes to life.
