Made by a group of women who live at the border of Burma and Thailand, the Ivory Artichoke is an incredible hand-thrown ceramic sculpture with each leaf appliedby hand one by one. This nature-inspired piece has tremendous character and a richness to it, which is due to the white glazing that is applied after the piece is composed. A hint of texture is achieved when the natural terracotta color of the material shows through on the top edges of the leaves. Wipe clean with a soft, dry cloth or static duster. Always avoid the use of harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners as they may cause damage to the item's finish. Due to the use of natural materials, handmade craftsmanship, or hand finishing, expect some color variances. Hand crafted pieces may have slight size differences.
