Halfway between the plant and mineral worlds, this small sculpted vase by Diana Barbosa evokes flowers whose imprints seem to have been preserved in the earth. Shaped using the traditional colombin technique, it is then delicately sculpted and embodies a sensitive natural world, where every detail bears the mark of the artisan’s touch.
A ceramic artist since 2015, Diana Barbosa works with stoneware in both Portugal and France. Each vase is entirely hand-formed, then engraved and chiseled through a slow process that brings out the full richness of the material. The layering of glazes, the use of oxides, and the interplay between the unglazed and glazed clay highlight the forms and lend each piece a unique depth.
Designed as much as a sculptural object as a vase, it can hold anything from a few dry branches to fresh flowers thanks to its glazed interior. This small sculpted vase is a one-of-a-kind piece.
