Gemstone Vase by BEN SUGA

This vase takes its form from classical Asian storage and pouring vessels, with a generous, rounded shoulder that rises into a narrow, steady neck.

The surface is defined by an iron-rich glaze that breaks into hundreds of tiny crystalline blooms, giving the bottle a living, mineral skin. This glaze’s complexity continues to reveal itself over time.

Material: Stoneware clay
