Cornice Vessel, RIB 16X, Monolith, Pitch Black Production: Made to order, Other designs can be made on request. Product info: All pieces are handmade and therefore unique. Because I use the running cornice technique the roughness and refinement of each vase will be different. And there will be slight variations in the distribution of contrast and shades. This makes each vase unique. Material: Alpha crystalline gypsum (Hard plaster) Outside Finish: Glossy coating Inside Finish: Water resistant coating Cornice is an ongoing collection of vessels that are made by experimenting with the traditional technique of running cornice. The traditional method of running cornice has been used for centuries to embellish interiors and exteriors with plaster ornaments. The translation of it often has an old-fashioned stigma. In creating the vessels, the historical background and technique use makes an interesting contrast with the contemporary character of the objects. By this, the technique gains new values so that it is no longer lost in obsolescence. By making a hollow mould and replacing the traditional plaster for an alpha crystalline gypsum the ornaments can be used as vessels.
