Midnight Vase

Black, but not simply black — this vase's glaze has a blue-gray undertone that surfaces in certain lights, giving the darkness depth and preventing it from reading as flat. The surface is slightly textured, and the form is a classic tall jar with a rolled collar and broad shoulder that tapers to a small foot.

This is a piece that asserts itself through restraint. In a room, it would pull the eye not by demanding attention but by having a completeness that other objects lack. A vase for living with over time rather than noticing once.
