The Strata Vase is built upward in visible coils — horizontal ridges wrapping the body at close, even intervals from base to rim, each one a record of how the form was made. The shape tapers inversely: wide and stable at the base, narrowing gradually before opening again at a broad, generous mouth. It is an unusual silhouette — neither urn nor cylinder — and it holds the eye.

Over the coiled body, a chalky white wash has been applied and worn back, leaving the terracotta to show through across much of the surface. The white remains thickest in the recessed grooves between ridges, while the raised bands carry more of the raw clay tone — warm peach and sand against the pale wash. The result is a surface that reads like aged plaster or sun-bleached stone: quiet, unforced, and thoroughly at home in a warm interior.

The wide mouth makes the Strata a generous vessel for loose, branching arrangements — flowering stems, olive branches, dried botanicals — where the vase grounds the composition rather than containing it. A pair at different heights, as shown, creates an easy, considered tablescape.

Available in two sizes. Each piece is individually finished; tone and wash distribution will vary.
