Clouded Blue Incense Holder

Rising gently from a broad base into a soft, narrowing neck, this ceramic incense holder reflects a studio practice shaped by years of wood firing and careful making in India. The balanced silhouette is wheel-thrown with restraint, allowing subtle shifts in form to remain visible as traces of hand and process. A pale, milky glaze settles quietly across the surface through natural glazing and long firings, where ash and kiln atmosphere introduce depth without excess. Crafted in stoneware and fired patiently, the incense holder develops a calm tactility shaped by flame and time. Intended to hold a incense sticks or single stem of flower  or to stand alone as a sculptural accent, the form brings lightness, balance, and a composed presence to interior spaces.
