This handbuilt ceramic object was inspired by the shape of a traditional Japanese knot bag – a soft, fabric pouch where one handle loops through the other to close. Reinterpreted in clay, the piece preserves the gentle folds and casual elegance of the textile form, now frozen in stoneware.
The white surface is decorated with a hand-painted blue floral pattern, reminiscent of printed textiles. While it’s primarily a sculptural object, the piece can also function as a vase – ideally for a single flower or a delicate branch – something minimal that complements its quiet presence.
Perfect as a standalone object, this work brings a sense of calm, intimacy, and refined craftsmanship into any space.
A handbuilt stoneware piece finished with glazes. Watertight and signed on the base. Measures approx. 23 × 16 × 22 cm. Can be used as a sculptural vase for a single flower or branch.
