Please take into consideration that this item is handmade. Therefore, dimensions & colors may slightly vary from item to item. There is also a chance that the item you receive is not the exact same as the one photographed (unless otherwise stated), so if the glaze has spots or crystals, their positioning will be different from item to item. This makes each and every one of my objects completely unique :)

 

 

Story

My second attempt for a huge zebrino is this one. The first one I didn’t glaze it and I thought something was missing.
At the same time, after such a long time working on a piece it is really hard to decide on a glaze because it’s easy to think that you will damage it, or maybe it would have looked better naked. But this time, I thought to take the risk, and not only the risk of glazing it, but of glazing it with a glaze that I have been developing for two years but never felt confident enough to put it in a piece of mine.
All or nothing, right?
This piece is also hand carved to create an extra texture, and the blue glaze not only looks amazing on this piece, but on top of the speckled glaze makes the speckles come out and make this black iron-y spots that make the whole vase look like it was made of metal.

I am so so so proud and happy of the results, and I am so sure that next year I will be trying to get out of my comfort zone and keep trying and refining bigger pieces.

One of my Zebrino Vases was exhibited on September 2023 during the Paris Design Week at a gallery organized by 1000vases. (*fangirling*). This is the famous Zebrino / the first & smaller version. I really love this version because it is the first one I have tried with a different line pattern. And I am really liking this!

I really put so much effort into some postcards written in 3rd person to feel important when I give people the postcards. I worked so hard on the text, so that’s the text you’re getting here.

 

“A staging of how restrictions can enhance creativity. The artist creates vase-like sculptures that play with two separate shapes – a cylinder and a disc-orb – transforming them into various possibilities. By using porcelain as a medium, it is possible to cut the shapes into multiple pieces and place them in a way that creates something new every time. These sculptures are then hand-painted with sharp-edged lines to enhance the contrast of the natural white porcelain. The artist saw comparability to a zebra with its black and white lines and a dinosaur with their multiple handles added in different parts of the sculpture’s body. These animalistic resemblances came to unite the name for this series: Zebrino.”
