A set of three large handmade white stoneware vases — thrown on the wheel in Fernando Durao’s Buenos Aires studio. This is the largest format in the Unikas Quartz collection. Each vase commands the space it occupies — the scale is architectural, the presence undeniable. 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. The result is a pure white surface with mineral depth — matte, textured, and alive in light. At this scale, the texture becomes even more visible: the surface reads like stone, dense and tactile.
Each piece is fired at 1200°C in high-fire stoneware. Three distinct heights that together create a composition with architectural presence — ideal for large living rooms, entry halls, and designed spaces that require scale.
Each piece ships with a signed certificate of authenticity from the artist.
