Eclipse ceramic vase – Alma Collection | Maud Dollard Ceramics

The Eclipse ceramic vase, from the Alma Collection, embodies the perfect union of simplicity and living matter. Made of black stoneware, it is distinguished by a subtle interplay of contrasts: a smooth, deep surface sits alongside a striated, tactile area, inviting the eye and hand to explore its texture.

This contrast in finishes creates a dialogue between shadow and light, where metallic reflections are revealed depending on the viewing angle. Each piece, handcrafted, expresses the ceramist's expertise and the beauty of the slow, deliberate gesture. The white clay, coated with an oxide wash and protected by a matte black interior glaze, gives the Eclipse vase a unique depth of color. Its balanced dimensions and sculptural presence make it a work of art in its own right.

Conceived as both a decorative and functional piece, the Eclipse vase can hold a bouquet of dried branches, a minimalist floral arrangement, or stand alone on a shelf or side table. Each vase in the Alma Collection is a unique piece, marked by the natural nuances of fire and earth.
