This miniature vase begins on the pottery wheel, where its form is carefully thrown by hand. Once the piece has dried to the perfect stage, it is passed along to be intricately carved, creating a textured pattern that wraps around the small vessel. A soft white glaze is then applied and it returns to the fire…
The result is a striking contrast of white glaze settled into the carved texture, framed by areas where the dark clay breaks subtly over the texture. The small canvas is full of detail, inviting a closer look at the hand-carved pattern that gives the piece both visual depth and a tactile quality.
This vase is part of a collaborative process between husband and wife—Daisy forms each piece on the pottery wheel, and Asa carves the surface by hand. From collaborations like this one, the name of the business The King and the Flower was born, reflecting the shared process behind every piece.
Perfect for small wild flowers, a small dried arrangement, or as a sculptural accent, the miniature vase brings handcrafted detail to even the smallest space.
