Story

 

This is the Murray! Named after the cutest most amazing little person.
It’s funny because I did a bigger version of this vase – Eliana – and I thought I needed to make a smaller version for those that look for something bigger than a mini but smaller than a normal vase. And the Eliana is so acclaimed that I thought it to be the best shape to make it smaller.
When I wanted to name this smaller Eliana, I didn’t know which name to put it. But then I thought, what is the real life smaller version of Eliana? Well, Murray ofcourse!

Love the name, I love the story, and I think the size turned out to be actually perfect! Hope you love it as well as I do

 

The Material:

 

This piece is crafted from wild clay I foraged in Kufstein, a stunning region nestled in the Tirolean Alps. The clay fires at lower temperatures (950°C-1050°C), characteristic of the mineral-rich soils found throughout this part of Austria.

To create a workable clay body while preserving the wild clay’s authentic character, I blended 60% Kufstein wild clay with 40% porcelain. This combination maintains the unique properties and personality of the foraged material while ensuring the piece has the strength and stability needed for functional use, and increases the firing temperature to stoneware temperatures.

The entire piece is made from this clay mixture, not just a surface treatment. Every curve and texture carries the essence of the Tirolean landscape within it, bringing the raw, earthy beauty of Kufstein directly into your hands.

Each piece is a collaboration between the earth and my craft: wild, authentic, and utterly unique.
