A set of three handmade white ceramic vases with a full, round body and an extremely fine neck — thrown on the wheel in Fernando Durao’s Buenos Aires studio. Each vase concentrates volume in the base and releases it upward with precision — a generous, rounded form that closes into a neck of exceptional fineness. An organic proportion that demands absolute control at the wheel and cannot be replicated by any mold. One of a kind, no editions, no reorders.
The surface is finished with Fernando’s custom mineral quartz slip — a formula developed over 35 years of studio practice from raw minerals: feldspars, silica, natural oxides. Applied by hand, layer by layer, directly onto the raw clay body. Pure white, matte, and textured — a surface that reads like stone and changes with the light.
Each piece is fired at 1200°C in high-fire stoneware. Three distinct heights that together create a composition with natural rhythm and balance — ideal for a living room surface, a console, or a shelf.
Each piece ships with a signed certificate of authenticity from the artist.
