Ceramic Single-Flower Vases

Whether placed alone on a shelf or holding a freshly picked flower, these chamotte earthenware bud vases catch the eye with their unique texture. Their carefully crafted and glazed surface evokes delicate shagreen, striking a balance between a mineral-like matte finish and a subtle sheen.

They are crafted in Paris, beneath the rooftops of the 7th arrondissement, by Sophie Spinosi. Trained at the École des Arts Décoratifs and in several studios thereafter, she creates free-flowing, textured forms that retain a subtle sense of unpredictability. In her work, the material guides the artist’s hand. And the glaze reveals the light.

Each piece is unique. Sizes vary, and the tones range from chalky white to deeper shades. All share a dynamic texture that captures the light and gives the ceramic an almost organic quality.
