With this obvara vase, Gérard Larouche shapes a rounded, compact form in which black and cream share the surface in broad contrasting patches. A neck covered in fine dotted impressions crowns the piece, while applied rings and raised plates punctuate the body. In obvara firing, the piece is plunged while still red-hot into a fermented bath, setting these contrasts and ochre glints that only the fire decides. A dense, graphic work in which the chance of the firing becomes a signature.
Decorative piece only: this obvara vase cannot hold water.
