Designed to bring a striking sculptural architecture into your living space, this unique vessel from our Adwai collection seamlessly blends raw ceramics with traditional organic weaving. The wheel-thrown, conical stoneware base rises into a dramatic, high-arching overhead handle made of hand-bent rattan, reinterpreting the rustic utility of ancient countryside water baskets as a sophisticated contemporary statement.

The surface of the vase serves as an exquisite canvas for playful, abstract artistry. A smooth, creamy alabaster-toned glaze envelopes the main body, setting a clean stage for a striking, hand-painted abstract composition in slate-blue. This fluid blue form is accompanied by two detailed, dark iron-brown medallions featuring fine sgraffito lines that evoke stylized orchard fruit or celestial motifs. The overhead handle is meticulously looped and lashed to two sturdy ceramic ears using traditional bindings, providing a beautifully soft material contrast that balances the solid, cool presence of the fired stoneware.

Designed to stand alone as a piece of functional art or to hold dried grasses, wild botanical branches, and fresh floral stems, the substantial weight of this piece ensures absolute stability. The thoughtful interplay between the smooth cream glaze, the expressive blue brushwork, and the fibrous warmth of the handle invites a deep tactile engagement, grounding your decor in a slow, mindful aesthetic.

Process & Craft

Emerging from a thoughtful cross-disciplinary process, this vessel brings together classic wheel-throwing and historical basketry traditions. The clay form is shaped by hand using mineral-rich Indian stoneware clay, then vitrified over 20 grueling hours at 1300°C in a wood-fired kiln, allowing airborne ash to trace localized highlights across the rim. Following the firing, the piece is handed over to master weavers who meticulously steam-bend, fit, and bind the seasoned rattan handle directly through the fired stoneware loops—a complex, multi-medium assembly that guarantees no two pieces are ever identical.
