Discover the exquisite craftsmanship of the Reloj Vase, a masterpiece by Al Centro Ceramica. This handcrafted ceramic vase is meticulously created using a unique blend of local clay, drawing inspiration from the elegant shape of an hourglass. Each piece is wheel-thrown and features a glaze applied solely to the interior, allowing the natural beauty of the clay to shine through.
The vase's final earth tones and textures are a testament to the artful combination of clays exposed to the intense heat of the kiln fire. Weighing 2.64 lbs, this vase is not only a decorative piece but also a testament to the skill and creativity of its makers.
Please note that the ceramic's distinctive appearance is achieved by varying the percentages of earths and clays, which naturally pigment the paste without the need for colored glazes. The materials react directly to the fire, influencing the intensity of color, resulting in a wide range of tones even within a single finish. This means each vase is truly one-of-a-kind, with subtle variations that add to its charm and uniqueness.
