New York ceramic artist Nancy Hirschmann hand-built this narrow stoneware column, then pinched a ring of small conical spikes out of its upper body. Below the spikes the form eases in slightly before settling onto a flat base. The glaze fires to a dark gunmetal that reads smoky blue in one light and warm bronze in another, changing as you move around the piece. The generous opening holds small to medium arrangements.

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.
