Eclipse Edge Vase
Eclipse Edge: A Modern Vase from Clay and Shadow
While some pieces begin with a clear sketch. Eclipse Edge did not. It started as a rough, off-balance silhouette—an experiment in what happens when a vase stops trying to be perfectly symmetrical and instead leans into its own edge.
From irregular form to intentional design
The body of this vase came together slowly, with each plane and curve pushed just past “comfortable.” The result is a form that feels a little defiant: not round, not square, but a bit out there. That irregular profile is what catches the light, throwing small shadows along each angle and making the surface feel alive from every viewpoint.
Painting with underglaze: blues against black
The color story is all about contrast. Using underglaze, blocks of deep blues slip up against inky black, almost like overlapping shapes in a night sky. Instead of blending the colors, the glaze is laid down in clear, graphic sections—color blocking that feels modern but still unmistakably handmade. Up close, you can see the small brush decisions and edges where the blue hesitates before meeting the black.
A sculptural object for real homes
Eclipse Edge is designed to live comfortably in a real, lived-in space. It’s tall enough to hold a few short stems, but strong enough in presence to stand empty on a shelf or mantel and still feel complete. The glossy finish catches and softens the light, so it sits comfortably beside matte or heavily textured pieces already in your home..
How to style the Eclipse Edge Vase
• Keep it minimal with one or two sculptural branches or grasses.
• Pair it with warm wood and natural textiles to balance the cool blues and blacks.
• Let it anchor a small vignette with a stack of books, a candle, and a smaller bowl or dish.
For those who love modern design but still want to feel the maker’s hand in every curve and brushstroke, Eclipse Edge sits right at that intersection. It’s part vessel, part sculpture, and fully at home wherever shadow, color, and handmade texture are invited to stay a little longer.
