Sumo Vase Slim Petit

Sumo is a ceramic vase.‎ Made from fine high-quality clay, all ceramic products are crafted using molds and fired in a kiln.‎ Each piece is then hand-painted with a brush up to four times to achieve a soft, brushed surface with a patinated texture, similar to suede.‎SUMO celebrates the human body.‎ As a reference to the Japanese sport Sumo, all vases are voluminous in size and shape, resting on top of narrow pointing legs.‎ All vases have different openings from the traditional narrow vase openings to double openings and deep carved openings.‎The SUMO collection looks at the contrast between familiar vase shapes and the addition of more artistic, abstract ideas and details, questioning our individual perceptions of the shape of a vase.‎ The SUMO collection is designed as a stand-alone artistic object yet forming a united family of objects when gathered.‎ As it is a hand glazed natural product, the colours may vary slightly and as it is not 100% waterproof, a bag for fresh flowers is included.‎
