Miyelle creates ceramic sculptures that reflect the nuances of the human experience. Our work is an exploration of antithesis—the tensions between strength and fragility, solitude and connection, stability and change.
We find beauty in this duality. Our design language juxtaposes organic forms inspired by the body, water, and the solar system with clean, geometric lines. Smooth curves meet sharp edges, and exaggerated proportions are used to find harmony in contrast.
Miyelle was born from a desire to reconnect with the tactile in an increasingly digital world. With roots in graphic design, we apply principles of form, colour, and space to the ancient medium of clay, creating a dialogue between contemporary theory and elemental materials.
We believe clay is the perfect medium to express metamorphism. It is mouldable and volatile, transformed by hand, environment, and fire. In the same way, our lives are shaped by our choices and the forces around us. Ultimately, our pieces are an attempt to capture the beauty of these transformations, celebrating the complex and elegant shapes of our lives.

Signed 24k gold infused Crystal Fish Sculpture by Josef Marcolin, original label
By Marcolin Art Crystal
Located in Warrenton, OR
Signed 24k gold infused Crystal Fish Sculpture by Josef Marcolin, original label. ***NOTE: Our 1stDibs store is closing end May and items will not be available thereafter.*** In addition to the signature on the bottom, the piece still has both of its original labels as well. In Murano glass work, fine gold dust inside the glass is called gold polveri. Perhaps this term was dropped by Marcolin due to the inclusions being more notable gold flecks rather than gold dust. Josef Marcolin (1933-2015), who originallly lived and was trained as a glassblower in Murano, Italy, moved to Sweden with his brother Benito in 1954. They made beautiful blown glass/crystal sculptures such as this one, which are known for their unique blend of Murano and Swedish style. In 1991 they moved back to Italy and continued to create for a short time under the name Sardinia Crystal...
