Glazed Ceramic Face Vase

A woman's profile in bright glazed ceramic, cut off at the shoulder and opened at the crown so it doubles as a vase. It is a sculptural piece first, the kind of object that anchors a shelf or a shop window, and it works because the shapes are simplified rather than literal. Lumen & Loam offers black and white, both high-gloss, both strong against plain walls.

The body is ceramic with a bright glaze that catches light along the curve of the cheek and jaw, giving the piece a change of appearance as the light moves through the day. The opening at the top takes a few stems, dried grasses or a branch, so the plant material reads as hair. Left empty, the outline stands on its own as a piece of modern decor.

Choose black for contrast against pale plaster or white for a quieter grouping with other ceramics. Dust with a dry, soft cloth and wipe the glaze with a barely damp one, since abrasives will dull the shine. Place it on a console, a bookshelf or a retail display where it can be seen in profile rather than head-on, and give it space: this one does not want neighbors crowding it.
