A striking pair of ceramic vases, now beautifully adapted into table lamps, showcasing the mesmerising artistry of crystalline glaze. Their baluster forms, with gently rounded shoulders and slender necks, provide the perfect canvas for the flowing surface effects of this specialist technique.
The glaze itself is a brilliant spectrum of blues—from the palest sky tones at the neck to deep turquoise hues at the base—alive with shimmering crystal formations that dance across the surface like frozen snowflakes or blossoming flowers. Each crystalline burst is entirely unique, created by carefully controlled kiln firing and slow cooling, a process that allows zinc-silicate crystals to grow within the glaze.
Crystalline glazes are among the most challenging ceramic finishes to master, celebrated for their unpredictability and dazzling beauty. This pair perfectly captures the allure of the technique—every glance reveals new depth, colour, and detail.
The pleated silk shades are available separately.
