..she wrung the sea foam from her hair”. Ceramic vessel.

460.00

The moment the goddess reaches the shore and with both her hands wrings her hair from the sea foam.
According to ancient Greek myth, when Cronus took the kingdom from his father, Uranus, he cut off his genitals and threw them into the sea. From the foam of the sea, the goddess Aphrodite emerged near Cyprus.
The vessel is glazed internally with blue glaze. Externally, the hammered surface and the drips of paint allow us to relive the moment of the emergence of the beautiful goddess where her wet body separates from the mother sea.

Drawing inspiration from traditional and ancient vessels, we created this vessel on these traditional forms. It is entirely handmade without the use of molds, something that requires a lot of time and skill. After the vessel takes its shape, we continue with the hammering of the surface, which slightly affects its shape but also gives texture.

The glaze covers the vessel internally but externally it functions as a painting, giving it its uniqueness as a work of art. Hand built ceramic vessel, stoneware fired in an electric kiln, cone 6.

Dimensions 23x30cm. Water tight.

TECHNIQUE

Ceramics are the result of a long process that includes the design of the object (pot or sculpture), the construction, the glazing and the firing. All items are either built by hand or thrown on an electric wheel and after drying, they are fired twice at different temperatures. The glazing is applied after the first firing where the material has been prepared to absorb the oxides that will give the final color. Then they are fired again at a higher temperature.

Each item is a unique and authentic work. It is signed by the artist and is accompanied by a certificate of authenticity.

All our products are made by hand in our studio in Koroni Messinia Greece. All items that are on sale in the concept store are made in Greece by Greek designers.
