This shapely vase with its earthy appearance will add an original touch to your space. It will look lovely year round adorned with a bouquet of fresh or dried flowers.
Each vase is entirely handmade in the artist’s Parisian studio. For this vase, she starts by using the pinching technique (hand modeling) in order to create the shape that will serve as the base of her piece, then proceeds to use the coiling technique, while the ears are made using a plate building technique. The pieces are fired initially at 950°C (biscuit), then sanded, perfected and glazed, before being fired a second time at 1250°. Each piece takes about 3 weeks to make (hand modeling, drying, firing). Each piece is unique.
The artist prefers to work with raw, organic materials: the clay is often left unglazed, or glazed in only a few places.
After changing careers to become a ceramicist, Léa Baldassari now handcrafts everyday objects in her small studio in Paris.
Léa uses various hand modeling techniques, including pinching, slab building and coiling, working with a variety of different clays, ranging from smooth clay to grog.
The artist tries to give her creations an earthy appearance, so they maintain an organic feel.
She takes a slow design and environmentally conscious approach to her work.
