Crackled Moon Jar no.1
About the Item
This moon jar by Ilona Golovina is hand built using traditional coiling techniques and finished with a crackled terra sigillata surface. Its rounded body rests on a narrow foot and is glazed in a dark bronze, partially covered with a fine white clay wash—creating a compelling contrast of textures and tones.
Inspired by the symbolism of traditional Korean moon jars and the Japanese philosophy of wabi-sabi, the piece embraces imperfection and asymmetry. Its form is intentionally irregular; its surface bears the marks of fracture, tension, and slow aging.
The pale, chalk-like finish of the terra sigillata lends the jar a timeless presence. Its imperfections are not flaws but traces—evidence of the artist’s hand and the elemental forces that shaped it.

Ilona Golovina
Ilona Golovina, originally from Stavropol, Russia (1987), is a Brooklyn-based ceramic artist known for her approach to texture, form, and structure.
Self-taught in ceramics, Ilona’s work is rooted in traditional vessel shapes but pushes boundaries through experimental textures, unique clay combinations, and forms that seem to defy gravity. She often incorporates found materials—like broken glass and metal collected from the streets, creating visually striking effects. This process not only enhances the aesthetic of her work but also reflects her commitment to recycling and repurposing materials.
