This vessel is carved from taraire, featuring a flowing internal curve that emphasizes the wood’s natural movement. Both the interior and exterior have been carefully exposed to fire, deepening the timber’s character while revealing the grain patterns beneath.

The textured rim adds tactile interest, while areas of natural wood peek through the blackened surface, highlighting the beauty of the taraire. A beaten copper wire repair is incorporated as a deliberate feature, celebrating imperfection and adding a sense of history and resilience to the piece.

Handcrafted in New Zealand, this contemporary wooden art vessel combines the drama of flame with refined form. It is a bespoke wooden sculpture that balances natural texture, artistry, and enduring craftsmanship.
