A large and vibrant vase, entirely unique, crafted by British-born artist Mary Vigor from her studio in France.
An artist with a firm understanding of what they want to achieve from their material, Vigor's work is largely influenced by painters, especially those who use bright colours, such as Matisse. Upon first inspection of this vase, you might be perplexed as to how something can be thrown on a potters wheel, and that's because it isn't. The double-sided nature of the decoration to the internal and external walls is achieved by assembling fine individual pieces of porcelain, producing vase and bowl forms that seem to contort and twist, always alive. The precision achieved in the vibrant glaze and delicate construction is aided by the use of an electric kiln - you could never hope for such jaw-dropping, abstract-yet-calculated, artwork from the chaos of a wood-fired kiln for example.
