zsa zsa vase by joanna davies
posted by the scholar on April 1st, 2008filed under: art, clay
look at this beautiful zsa zsa vase from the uk’s joanna davies. do you see her intention here — to juxtapose an ornate rococo style with the rather staid base form to explore contrast? yes, i see it, but to me this piece looks more like a strange sea creature that snorts water and sits on the bottom of the ocean floor. i reckon, in application, that is exactly what it does. it’s made of porcelain and no two pieces are alike.
bonus: the loopy spouts (snouts?) are a great cheat for beautiful flower arranging.
purchase it (not inexpensively, at £189.00) here, and see more organic beauty in joanna’s designs here.
