Bands of clay wrap this round stoneware vessel in overlapping folds, each turned up at the edge so the surface reads like layered petals or a spiral shell. The opening was intentionally cut at an angle, so the rim rises on one side and dips on the other. The metallic glaze settles dark between the folds and turns pale pewter and bronze along their raised edges. A narrow foot lifts the body slightly off the table. Use it for a loose arrangement or leave it empty as a sculptural piece.

About the Maker

Nancy Hirschmann is a ceramic artist in Chelsea, New York. She hand-builds functional stoneware, and no two pieces are alike. She came to ceramics after a career in law and is largely self-taught. She is drawn to the freedom of working with clay, letting go of rules and convention, and discovering the unpredictable magic of glazing and firing clay.
