Symy Ong Hand-Thrown Bud Vase, Tenmoku

A sweet, rounded little bud vase, hand-thrown in iron-rich stoneware and glazed in a deep black tenmoku for us by Symy Ong a mile or so from the Objects of Use store. Pleasantly spherical, these vases are designed to present a single flower, or a small arrangement, making for a delicate addition to a table setting or shelf. Ong, who apprenticed for a year with a Japanese wood-fired pottery, has recently set up studio in Oxford, making stoneware pieces which are fired in a gas kiln. Measures approximately 7cm in diameter and a height of 8cm. Variation is to be expected given the hand-made nature of this product.
