Large Vase Textured Terra Cotta
by Jade Paton
One-off hand-built by the South African ceramic Artist Jade Paton, for Volume Ceramics. This remarkable floor vase has impressive proportions and such a stunning texture !
Jade Paton, Cape Town based ceramist, creates unique pieces. She experiments and has a real sense of forms and a real creative freedom. Some of her pieces are raw and natural, some others are glazed in very vivid colors. Her vocabulary of shapes is also very large, inspired by ancient vessels, as well as natural forms.
Her family owns a flower shop in Cape Town, that may explain why she is obsessed with vases... Her pieces are functional vases or can be displayed as a sculpture.

About Jade Paton
"I feel that one shape leads to a different shape instinctively. Although there is such a strong theme in my work that is inspired by the ancient vessel, I still feel that I have more ideas than I have time to realize them!"
