This special collection of porcelain vases showcases the glossy and dynamic texture of crystalline glazes. Naturally formed crystal patterns are produced during a carefully controlled firing process, resulting in intricate blooms that resemble frost and flowers. With no two pieces exactly alike, this delightful display evokes the delicate splendour of fractal patterns cast in time.
