Weight approx. 1 kg

A stoneware vase with a slender, elongated and highly sculptural profile, made entirely using 3D technology.

The technique makes it possible to create deep, flowing, continuous folds, together with a tapered conical silhouette and a wavy base opening—complex, dynamic forms that are difficult to achieve using traditional ceramic modeling techniques.

The shape develops from a broad, slightly flared base with an irregular, wavy rim, gradually rising into a slender conical body. The soft, deep vertical ribs run the full height of the vase, creating a continuous draped effect, like pleated fabric or an organic form in motion. The folds elegantly narrow toward the top, closing into a slim, tapered neck and ending in a minimal, precise opening.

The overall volume evokes an elongated, dynamic silhouette, almost like a frozen wave or a natural element under vertical tension.The glaze, in shades of olive green, dark green and brown, flows in irregular drips and creates metallic, iridescent reflections that accentuate the relief of the folds and the form’s sculptural quality.A piece that combines technological innovation and sculptural sensibility, ideal for collectors of contemporary ceramics and biomorphic design. Ready for display or decorative use.

Technical details:Material: High-fired stoneware at 1230 °C
