This tiny handmade vase by ceramic artist Beatričė Kelerienė was fired in a traditional Anagama wood-fired kiln, where intense heat, ash, and flame sculpted its rugged, naturally textured surface. Despite its small size, the vase carries a powerful presence, echoing ancient pottery forms shaped by elemental forces.
The rounded body and narrow neck are coated with natural ash deposits that melted into a unique pattern of charcoal greys, earthy browns, and stone-like speckles. The pitted texture—formed by wood ash and shifting oxygen levels in the kiln—gives the piece a raw, geological character reminiscent of weathered rock or an archaeological find.
Perfect as a miniature art object, for a single dried stem, or as part of a curated ceramic collection, this tiny vase stands as a testament to the expressive beauty of Anagama firing.
