Three handmade white ceramic vases in tall, upright forms — produced on the wheel in Fernando Durao’s Buenos Aires studio. This set is defined by verticality: three vessels of close but distinct heights, each with a clean cylindrical presence that commands the shelf or surface it occupies. No decorative gesture. No added element. The form is the work.
The surface is finished with Fernando’s custom mineral quartz slip — a formula built from raw minerals over 35 years of studio practice. Feldspars, silica, natural oxides — combined and applied by hand, layer by layer, directly onto the stoneware body. The result is a white surface with mineral depth: not flat, not glossy, not industrial. Matte and textured, it catches light differently at every angle and reads differently in every room.
Each vase is fired at 1200°C in high-fire stoneware. That temperature is not incidental — it is what gives these objects their density, their permanence, and their weight in the hand.
This is a one-of-a-kind white stoneware vase set. The three forms were selected together as a group. Once sold, this set will not be reproduced.
Each piece ships with a signed certificate of authenticity from the artist.
