Ashmolean Museum Oxford

Turquoise Small Vase

by Emma Baldwin

£48.00

This turquoise small vase has layers of beautiful colouring, is functional and sculptural with a minimal Japanese inspired aesthetic.

This range of one of a kind ceramic pieces has been created by local artist and teacher Emma Baldwin. Specially made to accompany the Colour Revolution: Victorian Art, Fashion & Design exhibition at the Ashmolean, the pieces have been inspired by the vivid colours of the artwork Study of a Kingfisher, a watercolour by John Ruskin.

All pieces in this range are handmade, meaning each piece is a uniquely individual and may vary slightly in colour and shape.

East Oxford based Baldwin has been working with clay from the age of 14, and is the 2023 winner of a special competition by the Ashmolean & Handmade in Britain.

‘My inspiration comes from many sources and is realised through the process of combining hand built and wheel thrown forms.’

Materials: Clay

Dimensions: 13.5 x 4.8cm
