Iona Ceramics x Stellar & Co Iona Vase

Handmade in North Yorkshire by the talented ceramicist, Iona Ceramics, these organic pieces are truly one of a kind. 

Originally trained as a production potter in Ireland, Ionas work is finely thrown on the potters wheel, using a smooth white stoneware clay. For this collection Iona threw the piece in two parts, joining them in the middle and shaping them once joined. This resulted in thin walls and the end result being a surprisingly light vase. The glaze is made up of eight layers of three different glazes, applied both with a brush and sprayed in a particular way to encourage the glazes to blend together as they melt. Finally Iona used granular rust flakes on the surface to give a tactile texture, the rust melts into the glaze as it fires, due to its irregular grain size the melt spots appear irregular and organic.
