Sage Fern Mini Vase · Sculpted Forest Handmade Pottery

Handmade sage and copper ceramic mini vase — sculpted by hand with a fern frond relief, finished in iridescent moss green and amber glaze. One of a kind, made in the Netherlands by a mother-and-son studio. Only one exists in the world. Once it's sold, it's gone.

Like a fern leaf pressed into clay and brought back to life by fire. A central stem rises from the base, with delicate veins fanning out across the body — sage and moss green pooling in the carved lines, while amber and copper undertones glow through where the reactive glaze settled. Every angle reveals a different play of green and gold.

At 9 cm wide and 10 cm tall, this is a perfect small size — generous enough for a single bloom, a sprig of greenery, or a few stems of dried grasses. Quiet enough to stand alone as a sculpture on a bookshelf or windowsill.

Use it for: ✦ a single stem of eucalyptus, fern or wildflower ✦ a sculptural accent on a bedside table or windowsill ✦ a forest-inspired decor piece for plant lovers ✦ a meaningful housewarming, birthday or anniversary gift ✦ a self-gift for collectors of slow, soulful objects

— THE DETAILS —

* Width: approx. 9 cm / 3.5 inches

* Height: approx. 10 cm / 3.9 inches

* Shape: organic cylindrical form, slightly irregular

* Materials: stoneware clay, food-safe reactive glaze, lead-free

* Colours: sage green, moss, amber and copper — with reactive glaze pooling naturally

* Each piece: 2–4 hours of careful handwork, then 48 hours in the kiln across two firings — no two are alike

* Care: hand-wash recommended; not microwave/dishwasher tested

Please note: as each piece is hand-shaped and the reactive glaze flows unpredictably in the kiln, dimensions and pattern may vary slightly. This is part of the charm of handmade work — every vase is truly unique.

— THE STORY —

We are a mother and son working side by side in a small Dutch studio in Katwijk aan Zee, just a few streets from the North Sea. Every vase is rolled, sculpted, glazed and fired by our hands — slow, quiet, and never two alike. This one was sculpted from a memory of a walk through the dunes in spring, when the ferns first unfurl. The reactive glaze is unpredictable: it crawls, bubbles and pools in the kiln, creating the textured iridescent finish you see here. We never know exactly what will come out — each piece is a small surprise.
