Eruption Vessel
About the Item
This sculptural vessel by Ilona Golovina is hand built from white stoneware and finished with layered textures and flowing glaze details. The form is bulbous yet grounded, with an asymmetrical, torn rim that feels both volcanic and delicate—suggesting an act of eruption or emergence. A subtle gloss glaze has been poured and dripped over the matte surface, forming vertical lines that echo gravity and movement.
Golovina’s intuitive hand building process allows for organic irregularities and deeply tactile surfaces. The raw, pitted texture contrasts with the soft luminosity of the glaze, making this piece visually complex from every angle. Its open top and fractured crown imbue the vessel with emotional presence—simultaneously vulnerable and resilient.
PLEASE NOTE: This piece is made to order. Images shown represent the style and overall aesthetic, but each work will have its own unique details.

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.
