This medium-sized enclosed vessel is carved from taraire, showcasing a balance between natural form and the transformative effects of fire. Both the interior and exterior have been exposed to controlled burning, deepening the wood’s character and revealing a rich texture.

The flowing open rim is highlighted by the natural taraire colour peeking through, offering contrast against the blackened surface. This subtle interplay between light and dark draws attention to the sculptural lines and the inherent beauty of the timber.

A contemporary wooden art vessel — handcrafted in New Zealand — it embodies craftsmanship, sustainability, and the enduring appeal of native wood. A striking statement art piece for modern interiors.
