Description

The Desert Orchid Vessel by Markos Vasilakis is carved from rare stichtite, revealing the mineral’s naturally layered tones of violet, lilac, green and deep charcoal.

Its restrained, sculptural form preserves the raw character and geological markings of the stone, setting precise craftsmanship in dialogue with the spontaneity of the material. The vessel is hand-carved and finished by specialist artisans.

Conceived as a one-of-a-kind collectible object, it sits between functional design and sculpture. Every natural fissure, tonal variation and mineral inclusion is intrinsic to the work, so it cannot be reproduced identically.

Customization is available on request.
