This charming ceramic vase feels like a small story captured in clay π¦π
The softly rounded form is coated in a warm, earthy glaze, speckled with natural iron flecks that give the surface depth and a gently weathered character. At its center, a hand-rendered fox emerges from a muted, painterly background—its russet tones glowing against the creamy, moss-tinted glaze. The illustration feels organic and slightly impressionistic, as if discovered rather than imposed, reinforcing the piece’s handmade nature.
The narrow lip and compact silhouette make it well suited for a few delicate stems, dried grasses, or even as a standalone decorative object. The darkened interior glaze adds contrast and refinement, while the subtle variations in color and texture ensure no two angles look quite the same.
Whimsical and precious, this vase bridges rustic craft and quiet storytelling. It’s perfect for nature lovers, woodland-themed interiors, or anyone who appreciates pottery that feels personal, warm, and alive with character.
My work is driven by an insistent need to make β to explore, experiment, and stay in conversation with materials. I work across multiple mediums, clay, glass, paint, fiber. I let the process guide the outcome rather than forcing a fixed result. Whatβs made is often taken apart, reshaped, or returned to the beginning.
I draw inspiration from the natural world and from the quiet details of everyday life β the mundane, the overlooked, the in-between. Iβm interested in cycles: forming, breaking down, and becoming something new.
I approach my practice with openness and curiosity, allowing room for wonder, failure, and transformation. What comes before is carried forward. The work evolves through repetition, pressure, attention, and time.
At its core, my work is about staying present β paying attention, working honestly, and honoring change as part of the process. - Sueann Smith
