Graciela Orozco from Mexico draws inspiration from traditional glazed ceramics, as well as the Moorish and Mudejar styles, for this simple, yet stunning small flower vase shaped like a cup. Handcrafted with ceramic at high temperatures, the flower vase is painted white and finished with a layer of transparent ceramic enamel. It can be used as a vase and as a flower pot. “I like that my designs are classic and inspired by old styles,” Orozco says.

This ceramic vessel is a replica of a famous Aztec archaeological sculpture in obsidian, which is on display in Mexico's National Museum of Anthropology. This version is burnished, high-fired ceramic with a rustic brown finish, created by the Angel Ceron Artisan Association in Mexico City.
