Alu Ceramic Floral Vase

Chive Studio Verified independent store

The Alu vase is ceramic doing a flawless impression of metal — a chrome-glazed piece named for the aluminum it resembles and refuses to be. The name is the joke and the spec sheet at once: it photographs like machined alloy, lifts like clay, and never dents. Since 2018 it has been the studio's answer to rooms that lean industrial but still want one object on the shelf that came from a kiln instead of a factory floor. As a sculpted ceramic vase it takes a low, horizontal stance, closer to a landform than a cylinder, and as an organic form vase it carries short stems at an easy sideways angle rather than at attention. The large runs five inches long and sits low enough for a mantel's front edge. Mirror finishes forgive nothing, so every piece leaves the studio polished and checked by hand — the slowest step here, and the least negotiable. Show more
