Alfie Vase

Tall and slender, the Alfie Vase stands 50 centimetres on a compact 17 centimetre base, its glossy white finish setting it apart from the matte, earth-toned terracotta found elsewhere in the collection. The narrow, elongated silhouette gives it a more contemporary, gallery-like presence than the rounder, rustic forms nearby.

Achieving a glossy white finish on terracotta requires a specific glazing process, applied and fired to produce a smooth, reflective surface quite different from the raw, textured clay beneath. The contrast between the refined white exterior and terracotta's inherently organic material gives the piece a considered tension between polish and craft.

Throwing a tall, narrow form like this on the wheel demands precision, since height-to-width ratios like Alfie's are more prone to warping or leaning if the clay isn't centred and pulled with real consistency. Balinese potters who specialize in this kind of elongated silhouette develop the skill over considerable practice.

Its slender profile makes it a natural fit for a single dramatic branch or a small, considered stem arrangement, and its height means it reads clearly even from across a room. Placed on a console or floor, the Alfie Vase brings a more polished, contemporary note into a bali furniture interior, working as a useful counterpoint to the more textured, matte pieces surrounding it.

Because the glossy finish is more reflective than the collection's typically matte terracotta pieces, the vase also catches and redirects available light more effectively, making it a useful choice for darker corners of a room that could benefit from a little additional brightness and visual lift. Its distinctive glossy finish has made it a consistently popular choice among buyers wanting a more contemporary accent piece. A genuinely distinctive piece for any considered, contemporary interior. A quietly confident piece that holds its own in any room. A quietly confident addition to any considered console or shelf. Distinctive and versatile.
