Tall Lidded Vessel #1

Tall Lidded Vessel #1  | Strahan Clarke

Strahan Clarke reaches for greater verticality with this elongated stoneware jar, a piece that feels like an unearthed artifact from a forgotten coastal civilisation.

The vessel is finished in a vibrant turquoise glaze that pools into the deep recesses of the bespoke stamped patterns, creating a weathered, oxidised copper effect. The intricate horizontal bands of geometric texture give the piece a rhythmic, layered appearance, as if the clay itself were built from ancient, codified scripts.

Crowned with a hand-formed lid and a distinctive, pillar-like handle, the vessel invites a slow, deliberate interaction. The act of removing the lid reveals a hidden interior, turning a functional object of storage into a personal ceremony of discovery.

The slightly tapered form and small, sturdy feet provide a grounded elegance, making this a bold sculptural statement that balances raw, elemental energy with meticulous craftsmanship.
