In this obvara vase, Gérard Larouche sets swelling volumes in dialogue, crowned with a series of ringed openings piercing the top of the piece. The neck curls into a ribbed rim, while the body alternates horizontal and vertical grooves, small recessed squares and a spiral in relief. In obvara firing, the piece is plunged while still red-hot into a fermented bath, speckling the pale surface with dark marks. A work that plays between fullness and void, between control and chance.
Decorative piece only: this obvara vase cannot hold water.
Dimensions: 9 in high (23 cm) Medium: Ceramic, obvara firing
