True Blue Swirl Vase
True Blue Swirl Vase
Bring depth and elegance to your space with this striking wheel-thrown stoneware vase. The flowing swirl design blends deep cobalt blue with midnight black, creating a rich, fluid contrast that draws the eye. Its dynamic silhouette and layered glaze tones make it equally at home holding fresh stems or standing alone as a sculptural accent.
Details
Standing 8" tall, 3.75" across the lip, and about 5" wide at the belly, this vase is made from durable white stoneware and fired to cone 6. The interior is fully glazed for functionality, while the exterior showcases a glossy layer of blue and black tones that shift beautifully in different lighting.
Use
Perfect for medium floral arrangements or as a centerpiece on its own, this vase brings a touch of drama and sophistication to modern and classic interiors alike.
Process
This vase was created on my potter's wheel with cone 5 Bmix clay, a white stoneware clay. The swirl was pressed into the sides in one swift motion, before the top was necked in and the piece was completed and dried. After bisque firing, the vase was glazed in my True Blue and Midnight Black glazes, and fired to cone 6 in my electric kiln.













This handmade ceramic pedestal bowl combines a generous, gently curved bowl with a sturdy raised foot, giving it a low, sculptural profile. Deep blue and purple tones cover the exterior, with subtle variations and flashes of lighter color that become especially apparent as the surface catches the light. Inside, the glaze opens up into warm golden-brown tones, creating a beautiful contrast with the darker exterior.
At 9 inches across and 4 1/4 inches tall, this is a substantial bowl with plenty of presence on a table or shelf. The wide, open form makes it feel both functional and sculptural – a piece that can be enjoyed for its beautiful surface even when it's not in use.
Details
This bowl measures a bit over 9" across the rim, and it stands 4.25" tall. At the base of the foot, it measures 6" across. The foot accounts for about 1.25" of the bowls total height.
Use
The generous size and wide, open shape make this pedestal bowl wonderfully versatile. Use it as a serving bowl for salads, fruit, snacks, or other foods, or as a decorative bowl for displaying seasonal objects, flowers, or other treasures. Its raised foot gives it a little extra presence, making it especially nice as a centerpiece or focal point on a table, counter, or shelf.
