Stoneware Vase No. 05

$110.00

A small stoneware vase hand crafted in Paris by Japanese ceramicist Sharlen Nozawa. Vase No. 05 features a custom glaze mixed with sand Nozawa collected from the Hawaiian island she grew up on. As the sand melts, it forms a beautifully textured surface that is difficult to recreate in the same way twice. Commissioned for Sommer, only one of its kind is available.

Measures approximately 4"Ø x 4"H. Made by hand, natural variations in shape, size, and color are meant to be embraced. Hand wash only.

Sharlen Nozawa is a Hawaiian-born Japanese artist, currently residing in Paris. With an intrinsic appreciation for making the utilitarian beautiful, she creates her own ‘utsuwa’, the Japanese translation for 'vessel' or 'container'. Sharlen’s vessels change depending on the desired purpose, but always draw inspiration from folk craft and the ever-changing elements of nature.
