Wild Clay Bud Vase
Please view this YouTube video where Marco describes his design philosophy. Please note--there is a glitch on our website. If you select a sold out variant, please refresh the page before re-selecting your desired variation! These bud vases were made by Marco Minetti of @minettidesign using Marco's reinterpretation of the "buncheong" style featured in our previous collaboration with Marco and Toroo Studio. Read more about Marco below. Each vase features a unique pattern of mottled white slip brushed over rich burgundy red clay; the contrast is beautifully accentuated with a custom glaze made from a mix of silica-rich rice straw ash, various hardwood ashes, and feldspathic sand fines. Marco gathers rice straw ash from rice growers in the Sacramento Valley, then purifies it in his studio. _______________________ Marco Minetti trained in Korea under Kwak Kyungtae, a master potter from the apprenticeship lineage of Lee Kang Hyo and Koie Ryoji.
