This small ceramic vase is formed in a gentle teardrop shape, finished with a soft off-white crackle glaze subtly tinted with the palest blue.

The glaze drips gracefully down the form, accentuating its organic character, while the maker’s mark rests at the base, a signature of authenticity and craft. A subtle, timeless piece that carries both elegance and the warmth of the hand that shaped it.
