“The Sun Is Around the Corner” is a highly collectible Anagama-fired vessel distinguished by its architectural form and exceptional atmospheric surface. The faceted body presents multiple planes for ash accumulation, resulting in a complex interplay of golden deposits, molten drips, and deep reduction tones — effects that can only emerge from a prolonged wood-firing cycle.
This piece exemplifies the characteristics sought by advanced collectors:
Clear structural identity — the geometric silhouette provides strong sculptural presence and aesthetic longevity.
Singular firing signature — no two surfaces share the same ash pattern or color gradient; these results are impossible to reproduce.
Depth of material expression — the tactile, stone-like texture and nuanced transitions reveal an expertly managed firing environment.
The work aligns with the expressive ceramic language admired in the creations of Beatričė Kelerienė, adding to its relevance within contemporary wood-fired ceramic discourse.
Due to its combination of refined form, rare atmospheric effects, and the inherent unpredictability of the Anagama process, “The Sun Is Around the Corner” stands as a significant acquisition for collectors who value authenticity, material truth, and kiln-determined uniqueness.
Its durable stoneware body allows for versatile placement, including interior environments and curated outdoor settings, expanding its display potential and long-term relevance within a collection.
