small vases

Crafted by hand, this decorative vase features squared contours that flair upward. A kipas or "fan" motif is etched into the unglazed terracotta for a beautiful textural contrast. Women potters from the Lombok Pottery Center craft the design by hand.

A small patch of mushroom springs up next to a delicate glass vase in Yudi Suardi's unique sculpture. The Balinese artisan hand carves the mushrooms from jempinis wood on a base of benalu wood with a naturally flat base. Nearby, a pretty glass vase with a clear, glossy surface creates a contrasting effect.

Masterfully hand-carved by Balinese artisan Sarwaedi, this decorative mahogany vase depicts the mythical Javanese creature Anantaboga. Ancient legend maintains that when Bali was created, the dragon god Anantaboga entered the bottom layer of the earth and thus became the support of the island. The artisan gives the vase an antiqued look with the application of paints in brown, black, green and gold.
