Asperitas Handmade Porcelain and Cherry Wood Vases

€150,00
Description

Handmade with love by Sandra Olivieri from her pottery studio in the East of Italy, we bring these one of a kind porcelain and cherry wood vases to you.

These vessels are born from many a love story: the love between wood and ceramics, a
tale as ancient as time, a union that is found across almost every culture, between the first
materials that were available to mankind to build and create their societies.
And the love between the potter and the carpenter, two artisans exploring the world together.
Made of the most precious translucent porcelain and of the wood from the cherry tree that grew in his garden as he grew up. These vases bring their different crafts together as one.

Every item is made by hand, so slight variations in colour, texture and appearance are natural- and intentional. What you receive will be beautifully unique, not mass produced.

Dimensions: Between 12 and 18cm height 

We have 6 one of a kind pieces in this collection, ranging in sizes as you can see in the photos If you have a particular interest in one of the pieces, please contact us in advance of ordering.

Meet the Maker

Sandra Olivieri is the hands of Asperitas- a small studio in the far East of Italy, creating beautiful pieces as well as holding workshops regularly for the local community.

Sandra practices sustainable methods in her work, from the use of low colour clays and glazes, to recycling all leftover clay to create zero waste pieces, and investing in a sedimentation tank to recycle water and ensure clay doesn't seep into waterways.

Meet the Maker

Asperitas produces functional ceramics made to be used, handled, and lived with. Each piece is thrown on the wheel or hand-built by Sandra herself, from clays selected for their mineral character and natural colouring rather than their uniformity.

Rather than relying heavily on glazes and added colours, Sandra works with the clays’ own tones, blending different mineral compositions using the Japanese neriage technique- a method of layering and folding different clays together to produce marbled, smoke-like patterns that are entirely unpredictable and entirely unrepeatable. No two pieces are the same.
