Oltremare Sculptural Vase – Hand-built Coiled Sculpture
A Modern Artifact
This sculptural vase is a bold exploration of form and color. Inspired by the silhouettes of ancient vessels, it has been reimagined with a contemporary, raw energy. The deep, vibrant blue finish—reminiscent of the Mediterranean "Oltremare"—gives the piece a powerful presence that commands attention in any space.
The Craft
Entirely hand-built using the coiling technique, the vase carries the rhythm of its creation in every curve. The surface is intentionally tactile and irregular, celebrating the marks of the maker's hands. Two delicate, minimalist handles bridge the gap between tradition and modern sculpture.
Artisan Note
This is a decorative sculpture. In line with its raw, artistic nature, the interior is not glazed and the vessel is not suitable for holding water. It is designed as a standalone statement piece or to hold dry, structural branches.
