Created by Northern Rivers ceramic artists Mitch and Rebekah Parry of Pazzalotti, this hand-built vessel moves between functional object and expressive artwork. Its irregular, chalice-like form features a flared rim and sculptural foot, with richly textured glazes in deep blue, teal and violet.

Contrasting patches of pale, unglazed-looking ceramic interrupt the layered surface, bringing an unexpected softness to the bold colour and expressive form. Each angle reveals a different combination of texture, colour and hand-shaped detail.
