This ceramic sculpture features off-white earthenware delicately perched on a green natural stone base crafted from Dolomite, securely attached with a metal pin. Embracing a soft minimalist aesthetic, it exudes a calming presence, reminiscent of stacked stones in a Zen garden.
A loving reminder that all the pain we feel after someone has passed, is nothing but pure love. Never ending love.
From the artist: This is the last piece I made while our dog Ober was still by my side in my studio like he always was. He passed away on September 25th, 2023.

About Françoise Jeffrey Ceramics
Handmade: Françoise Jeffrey’s objects are all handmade using the coil-building technique, an ancient craft that is as slow as it is meaningful for the artist. It gives space to practice intuition in both work and daily life. Through this intuitive process, the artist shapes perfectly imperfect pieces. Inspired by the Japanese philosophy of wabi-sabi and Françoise Jeffrey’s mother who showed her how to design a life that retains its beauty until the very end.
Timeless Designs: For Françoise Jeffrey, beauty in design is minimalistic, pure, and bold in a subtle way, making it timeless. So the studio’s pieces are earthy in color, organically shaped, preferably a bit bigger, and unglazed. Not only because glaze is often toxic, but because the artist loves the purity of the shape and texture of raw clay. Additionally, it allows for single-firing, which is more environmentally friendly.
