This medium-sized open vessel is carved from taraire, with both interior and exterior surfaces carefully exposed to fire. The blackened finish contrasts with areas of natural wood, highlighting the grain patterns and adding depth to the timber’s character.

A textured rim frames the piece, while a natural void connects the exterior with the interior, creating a sense of flow and openness. The combination of burnt surface, warm highlights, and sculptural form gives the vessel a quiet, contemplative presence.

Handcrafted in New Zealand, this contemporary wooden art vessel is a bespoke sculpture that celebrates natural timber, texture, and the artistry of handcrafted work.
