This collection of vases was developed out of a fascination with the interaction of architecture and the natural world; clean lines against organic shapes. The simple slab-built forms contrast with plants and flowers, with the flowers peeking out from behind the vase.

The front plane incorporates a fine layer of folded hand-coloured stoneware embedded into the surface, making each vase different. This patterning process has gradually developed after becoming fascinated with Nerikomi  and agateware techniques and hand-colouring clay as soon as Emily Marston started working with pottery.

This vase has soft black hand-coloured stoneware, and porcelain white stoneware, inlaid into speckled stoneware clay.

All of Emily’s work is hand built in her studio in East Oxford. Each vase is fired twice at a high temperature. After firing, the outside is polished by hand to create a smooth tactile surface, with more of a textured surface on the speckled clay. The inside and back is glazed with a lovely matte clear glaze.

Approx. dimensions:

Front: Height –  8.8 cm

Width –  11.7 cm

Vase section: Height: 5.8 cm

    Inspiration and Techniques

    Each work is handmade using slab building and carving techniques. The vases incorporate a fine layer of twisted and folded hand-coloured clay embedded into the surface, meaning no two are the same. Each piece of jewellery has porcelain inlaid onto the surface, also making each one unique. This patterning process has gradually developed after becoming fascinated with Nerikomi technique and hand-colouring clay as soon as Emily started working with pottery.
