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. Materials: Stoneware, terra sigillata, bronze glaze Firing method: High-fired in electric kiln Finish: Matte, crackled surface with metallic glaze detail
