Kata Bud Vase - Soft Heather

A charming little bud vase handmade by Emma of Studio Yoki in her Glasgow studio.

When Emma started to make her unique vessels she didn't have any particular shapes or profiles in mind, she was merely playing with the clay. The more she made she evidently became drawn towards the vessels that had 'prominent shoulders', and even more so the ones that gave a pleasing asymmetrical profile. They reminded her of her Uncle Jim, and his endearingly ‘squinty shoulders’, that always get made fun of. 

Kata is Japanese for shoulder.

Round bodied bud vase featuring strong shoulders and a slightly fluted neck. Ideal for a mini bouquet. They are handbuilt using the technique pinching, giving them a lovely organic surface texture. Made with a flecked stoneware clay body and white speckle glaze. These vases are suitable for both fresh and dried flowers. 

Approximate dimensions 80mm h x 60mm w
