Contemporary "V" Vase Handmade

About

This contemporary vase is part of the Morphus collection, which is composed of six vases with different proportions, all of them executed by hand on a ceramic lathe. This technique uses a rotating disk where the clay is placed and together with the circular movement of the disk, the pieces are modeled with the hands. This manual manufacturing process was the basis for the design of the collection and inspired the creation of pieces that use circles, cones, tubes and arches as elements of their geometry. The result is a family of contemporary pieces that despite having different scales and possibilities are connected by their essence. The finishing was made with low temperature enamel that has colored glass particles. In the process of burning to approximately 1,100 degrees the particles melt and fuse the pieces, creating an unexpected dotted effect. Its final result is only discovered when the oven is opened. The color palette of each vase was chosen according to the mood of each piece, in an exercise of coordination between form and color. The collection conveys the result of all these experiments, generating pieces that were executed with the same techniques, but have different personalities. Colletion Photo: Casa Vogue Brasil
