Sumo celebrates the human body. Regarding the Japanese sport Sumo, all vases are voluminous in size and shape, resting on narrow pointing legs. All vases have different openings from the traditional narrow vase openings to double openings and deep carved openings. The Sumo collection looks at the contrast between familiar vase shapes and the addition of more artistic, abstract ideas and details, questioning our individual perceptions of the shape of a vase.
The Sumo collection is designed as a stand-alone artistic object yet forming a united family of objects when gathered. As it is a hand-glazed natural product, the colors may vary slightly.
