THE COLLABORATION:

We are honored to collaborate with Emma Kohlmann for our first capsule collection of illustrated forms. Painted in both our Brooklyn studio and in Emma's studio in Western Massachusetts, each piece contains embracing figurines, mythical objects, and botanical motifs colorfully portrayed across the white stoneware surface of each vessel. 25% of each sale will be donated to the South Bronx Mutual Aid.

ABOUT THE FORM:

The Stav Vessel is our take on a pair of antique vessels found at a French flea market and marked with the name Stavros in the private collection of French designers and partners Pierre Emmanuel Martin and Stephane Garotin. The two are intended to sit together but are also a great compliment to an Aortic (for a smaller staggered height) or the Bridge Handed Vessel (for a taller staggered height).

Materials: Cast white stoneware, black, blue, red, yellow, and green underglaze, glossy clear finish.
