The top of this hand-built stoneware vase flares into a wide, slightly oval mouth, the base flares out to match, and a band of conical spikes rings the narrow waist. Nancy Hirschmann finished it in a glossy gunmetal glaze flecked with gold and bronze, which shows every small pit and ripple in the surface. The foot is left unglazed. The short, open shape suits a dense, low posy.

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.
