Andy Vlock Cylinder Vase

Tall and quietly elegant, this cylinder vase by Andy Vlock celebrates the expressive beauty of atmospheric wood firing. Made from red clay, the form is coated in white slip before receiving layers of ash glaze, including an elm ash glaze that melts softly across the surface. The wood firing leaves subtle traces of flame and ash, creating gentle shifts in tone, delicate flashes of warm earth beneath creamy whites, and a surface that feels both refined and deeply connected to the firing process. Its slender proportions make it especially well suited to branches, grasses, or a single stem, while its sculptural simplicity allows it to stand beautifully on its own.

この円筒形の花器は、Andy Vlockによる端正なフォルムと薪窯焼成ならではの豊かな表情をあわせ持つ作品です。赤土を用い、白化粧土を施した上に灰釉とエルム灰釉を重ね、薪窯で焼成することで、炎や灰が生み出す自然な色の移ろいや繊細な景色が表れています。やわらかな白の中から土の温かな色味がほのかにのぞき、一点ごとに異なる表情を見せます。すらりとした姿は枝ものや野の草花、一輪の花を美しく引き立て、花を生けないときにも静かな存在感を放ちます。

Dimensions: 10.5”H × 3”D.
