Porcelain bowl, wood-fired in a traditional anagama kiln for five days.
The piece was fired on its side, supported by seashells. At high temperature, the porcelain softened and shifted, resulting in a heavily distorted form. The shells left their traces on the surface, preserving a record of the firing process.
Flame, ash, atmosphere, and gravity all contributed to the final shape, creating a form that could not be planned or repeated. While the vessel may still be used, it is best appreciated as a sculptural object.
One of a kind.
Dimensions: L23 × H11 cm
