  • Made in Kiama, NSW

A hand-crafted clay vessel with satin white glaze, pierced top, dried grasses, shells, and mother of pearl discs.

The Grasses and Shells Vessel is part of the ClayWeave collection, a collaboration piece that merges functional ceramics with natural materials. The lower body carries a satin white glaze, while the pierced, unglazed upper section provides structure for dried grasses, shells, and mother of pearl discs attached through the pierced holes. Each element is deliberately placed, creating a piece that sits between functional vessel and decorative object. Hand-crafted to complement modern home interiors, this vessel reflects a straightforward commitment to combining artistry with utility.
