The inspiration behind these vases are flower blossoms, and decorated by elements from different past designs. the repetition of these elements have created a completely different pattern. They will be a statement piece around your home, something truly special which does not lack personality.
The entire vase has been hand painted and each line has been carved by hand. They show some texture from the carvings but also the exterior has been glazed on the designs with a clear glossy glaze, as a result you will see a raw speckled clay texture and glossy patterns, an exquisite texture to touch and look at.
The inside has been full glazed for water proofing purposes, and the raw areas in the exterior have been sealed with liquid quartz, an Australian made material which is food safe but it will also protect from stains.

Sustainability: Alma Terra products are ethically made by me in my backyard studio, I care about the environment and the footprint on earth, I only use Australian raw materials and products instead of flying them form different parts of the world, I support Australian businesses only. I recycle and reuse water from the studio to water the veggie garden right outside my creative space. The kiln is run on solar power to fire my work so I minimise the demand from electricity.
