"ClayWeave white with driftwood" is a tall, thrown vase with satin white glaze, iron oxide rim, and unique driftwood attachment, blending ceramics and basketry.
Introducing ClayWeave White with Driftwood — a refined blend of ceramics and basketry from our Basketry Ceramics series. This mid-fired vessel features a smooth satin white glaze, an iron oxide rim for subtle contrast, and a distinctive driftwood detail that connects natural form with crafted design. Hand-thrown and altered into a slightly oval shape, it functions as both a vase and a sculptural statement, bringing understated coastal elegance to contemporary spaces.
