Vessel, Ceramic Made from Obvara Firing, Cheetah Pattern

This handcrafted vessel captures the untamed beauty of the obvara firing technique, where heat, water, and fermented yeast work together to create organic and unique patterns. The surface showcases a mesmerizing interplay of deep browns and warm taupe, forming a natural, animal-like print reminiscent of a cheetah’s coat or the dappled light of a sunlit savanna. Gracefully rounded and full of presence, this piece is more than just décor—it is a conversation starter. Its rich, earthy tones make it a perfect addition to a bookshelf or table where it can stand alone as an artful statement or complement other natural elements like wood and stone.
