A striking piece of porcelain transformed by an extraordinary crystalline glaze, this vase is the result of five months of experimentation and development.<\/p>\n
I wanted to create a glaze with a truly deep, dark background against which the crystalline growths could emerge with maximum intensity. This proved surprisingly challenging: the frits readily available in the UK would not produce the rich black ground I was looking for. After extensive experimentation with the glaze formulation, together with the firing schedule, I eventually achieved this dramatic depth of colour.<\/p>\n
Against the dark, almost midnight-blue surface, luminous cobalt-blue crystals appear to bloom across the vase. Some form as delicate circular rosettes, while others merge into larger, layered structures, creating a constantly changing surface that rewards close inspection. Tiny crystalline details sit between the larger forms, adding further depth and complexity.<\/p>\n
The result is a vase that feels almost geological\u2014a little like looking into a mineral-rich rock formation, where intricate structures have formed naturally over time.<\/p>\n
Handmade from fine porcelain, its elegant waisted form provides a refined contrast to the exuberance of the glaze. It is equally compelling displayed as a sculptural object or used to showcase a simple arrangement of flowers.<\/p>\n
Each crystalline surface is unique, making this vase an individual work of ceramic art.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" A handmade fine porcelain vase with a deep midnight-blue crystalline glaze, developed through months of experimentation to achieve its dramatic depth and luminous cobalt-blue crystal formations.<\/p>\n Delicate rosettes and layered crystal blooms move across the dark surface, creating a rich, mineral-like effect that makes every piece entirely unique.<\/p>\n Elegant in form and striking in finish, it is equally beautiful as a sculptural object or as a refined vessel for a simple floral arrangement.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":2178,"template":"","meta":{"_kadence_starter_templates_imported_post":false,"_kad_post_transparent":"default","_kad_post_title":"","_kad_post_layout":"default","_kad_post_sidebar_id":"","_kad_post_content_style":"default","_kad_post_vertical_padding":"default","_kad_post_feature":"","_kad_post_feature_position":"","_kad_post_header":false,"_kad_post_footer":false,"_kad_post_classname":""},"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[52],"product_tag":[63,28,61,30,27,50],"class_list":["post-2174","product","type-product","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","product_cat-waisted-vases","product_tag-artisan","product_tag-crystalline","product_tag-decor","product_tag-handmade","product_tag-porcelain","product_tag-vase","first","instock","sold-individually","taxable","shipping-taxable","purchasable","product-type-simple","entry","content-bg","loop-entry"],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/chlorisceramics.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/product\/2174","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/chlorisceramics.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/chlorisceramics.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/product"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/chlorisceramics.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/2178"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/chlorisceramics.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=2174"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_brand","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/chlorisceramics.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fproduct_brand&post=2174"},{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/chlorisceramics.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fproduct_cat&post=2174"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/chlorisceramics.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fproduct_tag&post=2174"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
