Description

Wheel-thrown, translucent, sculpted bowl.


This sculptural porcelain vessel unfolds in elegant, petal‑like forms that wrap gently around its body, creating a sense of natural movement and quiet refinement. The matte white exterior emphasizes the purity and softness of the porcelain, while the thin, curved walls reveal subtle translucency that responds beautifully to light. Inside, a soft lavender glow radiates through the interior surface, adding depth and a luminous contrast to the satin exterior.

This hand-carved piece feels both botanical and abstract—an exploration of how porcelain can mimic the fluidity of organic growth while maintaining a serene, contemporary presence. Its flowing contours and layered folds invite the viewer to move around the form, discovering shifting silhouettes and delicate transitions in thickness. The result is a vessel that balances sculptural drama with the delicacy characteristic of fine porcelain craftsmanship.

"Badenhorst’s work is a dialogue between the artist’s hand and the memory of the clay. This vessel utilizes the extreme translucency of high-fire porcelain to create an interplay of light and shadow, where the structural 'ribs' of the form serve as both architectural support and aesthetic adornment."
