A hand-crafted clay vessel featuring hydrangea botanicals on a gold lustre background, functional and decorative.
The Hydrangeas Lustre Bowl is a hand-crafted clay vessel that draws inspiration from the hydrangea, a familiar presence in Australian gardens. The design features white hydrangea blooms and green foliage set against a gold lustre background, rendered with clear, defined linework. Built to function as either a practical vessel or a unique, standalone art piece, it reflects a considered approach to ceramic design — where utility and visual intent work together.
