Pepa Monolith Tray
The Spirit: The Pepa Monolith Tray is a foundational platform, a slice of the earth designed to anchor the daily ritual. Its expansive surface serves as a sanctuary for the morning pour or the evening exhale, offering a tactile record of mineral movement.
The Form: A hand-built, undulating form in off-white clay. The Pepa glaze is applied horizontally, allowing the mineral elements to settle and accumulate heavily along the edges, mimicking the silt of a riverbed. It is finished with two substantial "bead" handles, an architectural expansion of the forms found in our Adornment collections.
The Making: Hand-built and refined in small runs. Every tray is a singular record of the glaze’s flow; the concentration of "seeds" is dense and varied, providing a stark, geological contrast to the more minimalist vessels in the collection.
Details:
-
Dimensions: Approx. 14" x 5.25" x 1.5"
-
Care: Hand-wash only to ensure the longevity of the piece.
The Mark of the Hand: As with any individually handcrafted artifact, subtle variations in proportion, texture, and glaze are inherent to the medium. These nuances are not flaws, but the record of the object's making.
The record of the hand
Cloud Commons is a practice of slow, technical discipline. Every artifact is born from the earth, either wheel-thrown or hand-built ensuring that no two pieces are identical. These are records of a moment spent at the wheel or at the table, made to be handled, lived with, and kept for a lifetime.
