Blue Coiled Vase by Jayne Kersten

Based in Hackney Down Studio, ceramicist Jayne Kersten originally started making right before the first lockdown. Forced to continue from home, Jayne taught herself how to create cups and vessels using the coiling method. Making each piece by looping ‘coils’ of clay to build up the form before carefully smoothly and moulding into the desired shape by hand. We think her work is incredibly specially and her chosen method creates a true makers imprint on each piece.

Often inspired by ancient pottery found in museums, Jayne’s influence really shines through in this simple angled vase. Similar in form to archeological vessels, the matt-blue glaze takes on the mottled tones of aged copper or brass. Watertight and suitable for use as a functional vase, we also think this piece looks wonderful on its own due to it’s sculptural form and finish.
