The Memory of Motion
Vintage Terracotta Vase with Rope
About the Product
A Rajasthani earthenware storage vessel, painted and still bound with its original rope. It was made to hold and carry provisions in village households, and it wears that working life on its surface: faded paint, darkened clay and the soft irregularities of a pot shaped by hand.
Today, its strong form and earthy surface make it particularly suited to contemporary interiors. Use it as a sculptural vessel on a console or floor, or style it with dried branches and foliage.
Price mentioned is per piece.
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, joints and surface marks 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.
