Eruption Vessel no.2
About the Item
This sculptural vessel by Ilona Golovina, is hand built from dark stoneware and features a dramatic, asymmetric rim with layered slip. The body rises into a jagged, crater-like crown that appears almost volcanic—an expressive rupture atop a quietly balanced form. White slip is poured over the vessel’s shoulders and allowed to run freely down its surface, creating spontaneous vertical trails that contrast sharply with the matte black clay body.
Eruption No. 2 captures a moment of tension between stillness and force. The vessel’s surface holds the memory of its making—where each ridge, fissure, and run of slip records a physical event. The texture is rugged yet intentional, shaped by gravity and touch into a form that feels unearthed rather than constructed.
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.
