This Anagama-fired vase embodies the quiet strength and elemental beauty of wood-fired ceramics. Its full, rounded form tapers elegantly toward the base, giving the piece both visual balance and a sense of grounded stability. The wide, softly flared rim adds refinement while preserving the vessel’s rustic character.
The surface reveals a rich tapestry of natural ash and atmospheric effects. Deep charcoal tones blend with warm, earthen browns, while subtle metallic sheens emerge in areas touched intensively by flame. The textured, cratered finish—unique to high-temperature wood firing—gives the vase a tactile complexity that invites close viewing.
Drawing inspiration from the expressive, fire-driven methods admired in the work of contemporary ceramic artist Beatričė Kelerienė, this piece stands as a testament to the unpredictability and poetry of Anagama firing. Every speckled transition, blush of color, and shadowed contour is shaped directly by the movement of flame inside the kiln.
This vase also offers the possibility to enhance both interior and outdoor spaces.
Its durable stoneware body and strong sculptural presence make it equally suitable as a focal object in modern interiors or as a landscape accent in gardens, terraces, or courtyard settings.
