Vase Studies

These hand built porcelain vases take inspiration from historic and contemporary Meissen production pieces.

The vases seek to ‘talk’ about the elaborate hand painted floral wares produced at the historic German porcelain manufactory.

Playful in their collage like approach, the ambiguous decoration is extracted from enlarged illustrations made of the originals, then explored in raised relief on the vase surfaces. Rewarding curiousity, the pieces boast colourful and painterly interiors referencing the extravagant palettes used by the manufactory, with a refined gold lustre rim for renewed grandeur.
