The Roua vase
The Roua vase was made with a black clay body and decorated with a wild ochre from Bruxelles, a wild clay from Sardegna and a wild clay from Slovenia. The texture of this vessel is rough, both from the grog found in the clay body, and through the decorative process.
The textural qualities are inspired by ancient vessels and the degradation process they go through during millennia. Much of the pottery we have today in our museums was found underground and in tombs, often in shards, with cracks and heavily layered, through both the original decoration and firing process, but also the compaction of various soils in time. The vessels in the decay collection try to recreate this process with heavy layering of clays, rocks, sands and ochres.
This vase was fired to 1250 and is watertight.
This vase is part of the Decay collection.
