Design & Atmosphere
This medium black terracotta vase offers a refined balance of form and detail, with a softly rounded shape and smoky matte finish that complements a wide range of interiors. Its etched vinework, revealed through a hand-removed slip layer, gives each piece a quiet sense of movement and individuality.
Handmade in the Chulucanas region of Peru, the piece is crafted through a traditional batik method passed down for generations. Artisans apply a light slip to the surface, then gently remove it with a wooden paleta after firing—leaving behind the natural vine motif. The deep black finish is created through a smoking process using mango leaves, giving the clay its rich tone and cultural depth.
At just under 10 inches tall, this mid-sized vessel is perfect for tabletop styling. Use it to elevate a casual vignette on a bookcase, center it among a trio of mixed ceramics, or pair it with dried botanicals to add shape and shadow to a minimal surface.
The matte texture and neutral palette make it a strong match for natural materials like rattan, linen, and bleached oak. Whether placed alone or styled in multiples, the vase’s rounded form introduces softness and visual rest to sharper modern elements.
More than just a decorative object, this handcrafted vase is a piece of functional sculpture—shaped by tradition, fired with intention, and made to bring warmth and character to your home.
Elevate your everyday styling with an artisan-made vase that feels as collected and intentional as the space it inhabits.
