The Memory of Motion
Vintage Wooden Pot - 1
About the Product
A turned wooden vessel, shaped on the lathe with a rounded body, broad neck and distinctive flared rim. Vessels like this belonged to rural Indian households, where they held provisions and other essentials.
Its deep brown surface carries the warmth of natural timber, with visible grain, tonal variations and the subtle marks of years of handling. Place it on a console, sideboard or open shelving, stand it on the floor as a sculptural object, or use it to hold dried branches and foliage. Its warm timber and rounded form sit well alongside stone, linen, plaster and other natural materials.
Price mentioned is per product.
Each piece is one of a kind. Size, colour and markings vary from piece to piece. Photographs are close, but the piece may look slightly different in person and from different angles. Cracks and surface wear are part of the original piece and add to the beauty of it.
About the Chapter
From The Memory of Motion, Origin & Form's first collection.
This piece has already made a journey. Long before it reached you, it moved: carried, wheeled, passed from hand to hand. It carries decades in its grain and the wear of the roads behind it.
You're not buying an object. You're buying the moment it stopped moving.
