The Octopus Medium Vase is a decorative accessory handmade of stoneware by women artisans living at the border of Burma and Thailand. The process they used to create it is challenging and time-consuming. First, the vase is thrown by one artisan; then another artist works by hand to apply the octopus to the profile of the cream vase before it is hand-glazed and fired. The artful application and the dripping of the reactive blue glaze make each piece a one-of-a-kind objet-d'art with a strong French Mediterranean feel.
