A vase waisted at the foot and swelling to a broad shoulder. Rounded bosses stand proud of the body across the shoulders and down one side, and a single amber stripe runs from the neck to the foot through a body that is otherwise near-black. The foot is cast with the body and nothing else comes with it.
Each boss is a dome applied to a curve, and no two of them sit on the same curve. A dome meeting a shoulder that falls away steeply has to be cut back on one side to sit flat; the same dome on the flat of the belly does not. Get it wrong and the boss appears to be stuck on, which is exactly what it is, and the piece looks assembled rather than made. So each one is drawn against the tangent at the point it lands, with the junction faired into the body all the way round. There are more than forty of them and the fairing is most of the work on this vase.
At 42cm it suits a console, a hall table or a hearth, and it is tall enough to hold its own beside a chair. The bosses need light from one side and slightly above to cast the small shadows that separate them from the body; flat light turns them into a pattern. Set the amber stripe toward the approach, since it is the one thing on the piece that changes as the light moves and it is invisible from behind.
Plan for 3–4 weeks on a standard piece and 5–6 weeks on a bespoke commission. The bosses are drawn broader or spaced further apart, the stripe is widened or run around the body rather than down it, and the black is taken to a deep green. The vase can also be cast with no bosses at all, as a plain vessel of the same profile. It is also cast at other heights. It travels in one box in a shaped bed with the shoulder supported and every boss clear of the packing, and one person lifts it. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.
A vessel carrying its own bosses is organic sculpture; the dark body is resin sculpture; and one amber stripe needs indoor sculpture light.
