Andy Vlock Nerikomi Small Bud Vase with Ash Glaze dining ware the earrings reflect Akemi Rice’sThis small bud vase by Andy Vlock is made using nerikomi techniques, with layered clays creating subtle marbled patterns throughout the form. An ash glaze settles softly over the surface, allowing the clay variations to remain visible beneath, while gas firing adds warmth and quiet depth. Compact and well balanced, this vase is ideal for a single stem or small cutting, and carries a sculptural presence even when empty. 2H 2. 5D. Food safe. Microwave
