One-of-a-kind Compote Vessel No. 10

About the Item

Delicate yet grounded, this hand built ceramic compote vessel by New York-based artist Ilona Golovina resembles an artifact unearthed from volcanic soil. Its petite, chalice-like form rests lightly atop a narrow foot, while the textured surface evokes mineral bloom, ash deposits, and calcified time. Subtle shifts in color—from earthy browns to pale, powdery whites—suggest a surface altered by fire and exposure. Each contour, imperfection, and variation in texture speaks to Golovina’s deep material intuition and reverence for organic processes. The silhouette is elegant in its restraint, yet expressive in its geological rawness—bridging ancient ritual forms with a contemporary sculptural sensibility. Perfect as a standalone statement object or as part of a larger ceramic collection, this piece invites close contemplation and tactile curiosity.

By Richard A. Hirsch
Located in New York, NY
Contemporary American ceramic artist Richard Hirsch's Tripod Ceremonial Vessel #10 is raku-fired, hand built and hand sculptured. The tripod is uniquely with bronze acrylic, iron-rust interactive acrylic, airbrushed enamels (red, green and yellow) all layered on top of each other.
