Unique Cave Ceramic Vase by Maria LoramDimensions: W 22.8 x D 22.8 x H 24 cmMaterials: Stoneware with a glazed finish.Colors: White.Custom dimensions and glaze finishes are available upon request.This handmade ceramic vase has a light beige color and a rounded shape with a distinctive, textured surface. The surface is heavily textured with cracks, crevices, and an uneven finish that gives it a raw, natural appearance. Unlike traditional vases, this piece includes a hollowed-out section that runs through the center, creating a striking, cave-like opening.Its spherical shape and consistent color make it visually balanced, while the irregular texture and central void add depth and dimension. Ideal as a sculptural object, this vase works well in modern, minimalist, or wabi-sabi-inspired interiors.Each vessel is made entirely by hand, combining wheel throwing and handbuilding techniques to shape and refine the form. The glazes and surface textures are the result of years of experimentation and development in the studio — a slow, meticulous process that often takes months to achieve the depth, variation, and raw elegance seen on each piece. These surfaces are truly one-of-a-kind, reflecting both technical precision and an organic, time-intensive creative exploration.Los Angeles–based ceramic artist Maria Loram presents sculptural works that bridge the microscopic and the cosmic. Shaped by research, intuition, and the unpredictability of clay, her textured forms explore transformation, impermanence, and wonder.Maria Loram approaches clay through a blend of research, experimentation, and intuitive form-building. Her sculptures are characterized by minimalist silhouettes paired with densely organic textures inspired by both natural structures and celestial landscapes.Maria’s pieces invite viewers to step outside the familiar scale of their own lives and into a broader sense of wonder.
