Best for: A tall branch in a narrow entry
A tall stoneware vase with a raw, unglazed exterior. The clay is Yixing — the same material used for teapots — and it ages the same way: slowly, beautifully.
Yixing clay is famous for its porosity and mineral content. This vase is left unglazed on the exterior, allowing the clay to breathe and develop a patina over time. Each vase is thrown on a wheel and fired at 1,180°C. The colour is natural — no stain, no glaze, no decoration.
Use it for a single tall branch — a willow cutting, a bamboo stalk, or a dried seed head. The narrow neck holds the stem upright. The unglazed clay will absorb water slowly; over months, the exterior will darken unevenly, creating a record of how you use it.
Seven questions answered: What is it? Where does it come from? How was it made? Why is it beautiful? How do you use it? Why this one? How do you care for it?
