Vessel and Lid, Ceramic Made from Obvara Firing, Tiger Pattern

This striking handmade vessel is a testament to the art of Obvara firing, a technique dating to 12th century Eastern Europe. A process of heat, water, and fermented yeast imbues clay with distinctive, organic patterns. This piece boasts a rich tapestry of earthy red and black tones, creating a mesmerizing stripe-like effect with a naturally rugged, bumpy texture. No dyes or artificial pigments interfere—this is the raw beauty of the elements at work. A true statement piece, this vessel brings an undeniable presence to a mantel, a side table, or as part of a curated display.
