Karen Swami Medium Smoke Fired Vessel 145 with Gold Kintsugi

Made in France. A sculptural vessel burnished with an agate stone, bisque-fired, smoked, waxed, then re-worked with Urushi lacquer and gold in the traditional Japanese Kintsugi technique. Karen Swami first experienced working with clay at the age of five, but it wasn’t until 2009 that she re-discovered ceramics by way of a potter’s wheel she set up in the corner of her office. Working between Paris and Brittany, Swami creates ceramic sculptures and vessels in colors and textures that evoke ancient cultures and forms. One of a kind. Intended for decorative use. To hold any water, an insert must be used within. 7.5"Dia x 8.75"H Hand wash or spot clean with water and dry. For decorative use only.
