This vase was a custom order for a couple’s 9th wedding anniversary. They wanted something they could pass down to future generations and thought a ceramic piece would make a good commemorative heirloom. They mentioned their love for terracotta amaryllis, a variety I’d never heard of. Terracotta literally means “baked earth” so I was excited to render the flower in clay tones using a mixture of pink Alabama and a clay called Newman Red from California.

A decorative vase with a flared, undulating rim and partially visible turquoise interior. The vase is a warm brick red with textured floral designs in peach and dark orange with olive green stems. There are several carved rings around the neck of the vase painted in the same satin-sheen olive color as the flower stems. Additional carved geometric patterning and raised dots ornament the vase.
