The Melpomene vase is a striking piece of art with a unique and rugged charm. The vase has a cylindrical shape with a slightly tapering top, which is notably irregular and appears intentionally broken or distressed, adding to its character. The surface of the vase is textured with a combination of natural, earthy tones and a glaze that gives it a weathered, ancient look. Various shades of beige, brown, and hints of blue and green create a rustic and worn appearance. The body is adorned with subtle horizontal grooves and a rough, almost fossil-like pattern. The vase was made using naturally sourced clay collected throughout Spain. The glaze is a mixture of seashells, wood ash and volcanic ash. The piece is meant to be unique. As such, there is also a place for flowers to exude out of the base of the vase, such as the photo with a single white chrysanthemum is placed, contrasting beautifully with the vase’s earthy colors and highlighting its artistic imperfections. This piece exudes a sense of history and timeless beauty, making it a captivating addition to any space.
This vase can hold water.
