Description

Drawing from Point Dume’s ancient sedimentary layers, this rounded ceramic vessel captures the essence of coastal erosion and time. The generous curves and wide belly evoke weathered beach stones shaped by countless tides, while individually crafted clay “pebbles” dot the charcoal surface like treasures embedded in sand.

Each tiny rock element is hand-formed and glazed separately before being carefully placed on the vessel’s surface, creating a tactile landscape that invites touch. A delicate metallic band encircles the neck, adding an elegant accent that catches light like wet sand at sunset.

This compact bud vase celebrates the patient artistry of geological forces while showcasing meticulous handcraft. Fully watertight and functional, it’s perfect for fresh flower arrangements or dried botanicals, yet equally stunning as a standalone art object that brings Malibu’s timeless coastline indoors.

This vase is water tight, can hold water.

All pieces are handmade, and no two pieces are identical.

About Ugly Things et al. Visit Showroom →

Ugly Things et al. is a Los Angeles–based ceramic studio creating modern craft objects that merge ancient sensibilities with contemporary design.Founded by artist Zou Chen, the practice centers on hand-built vessels that draw inspiration from California’s geological landscapes—eroded cliffs, sediment layers, and shifting terrain. On her hikes through the wilderness, Zou forages for wild clay and local pigments, incorporating materials from the Santa Monica and San Gabriel Mountains into her work. These elements infuse each piece with a physical connection to the land—vessels shaped not only by hand but by time and earth.Every object is constructed slowly and intuitively, often featuring embedded stone forms, torn seams, and gestural surfaces that echo erosion, memory, and movement. These pieces function as both containers and contemplative sculptures, occupying space somewhere between the ceremonial and the everyday.
