Vessels

Vessels Gallery
Explore a collection of handmade ceramic vessels by Melanie Shaw, where utility meets expressive surface design. Each piece—ranges from wheel-thrown, hand-carved fruit bowls to sculptural vases—is a tactile exploration of form, inspired by the maternal and the natural world. Using clay as a medium for storytelling, these functional pots are decorated with layered slips, underglazes, and glazes that evoke floral themes, gestural marks, and soft, luminous color palettes. Designed to bring warmth, beauty, and vitality into everyday rituals, these ceramic vessels are perfect for those who appreciate handmade pottery that balances function with artistic expression.
