Spheres are a symbol of perfection, unity, and balance in many cultures and have been used both functionally and decoratively to add a sense of harmony and balance to ceramics. The rich history of spheres in studio ceramics dates back to ancient times. The Ming Dynasty, in particular, was renowned for producing ceramic spheres called 'Heavenly Globes' which were used as decorative elements in palaces and temples.
The ball vase captures the enduring beauty and timeless appeal of the spherical form. Delicately and precisely thrown off the hump in porcelain, with an opening for a single-cut flower. This sphere is an elegant vessel that reflects simplicity and naturalness.
