Coloured Striped Vase Siena Pink
Perfect for a stem or two from your garden, these striking striped porcelain vases look stunning on with just one or two fresh or dried flowers any time of the year.
Coming in various colours you can combine to create unique and flexible arrangements or table settings.
Each piece is hand painted with coloured slip prior to initial firing and glazed only on the inside giving a warm tactile feel to the pieces.
The hand-made nature of these vases, including the slight variation of the material gives subtly different pieces with the occasional curve so no two pieces will be exactly the same.

Aeyglom
Designed and made by Aey Aspdin
The brand name - aeyglom - is a combination of the artists Thai nickname Aey and the word Glom, meaning circle – the shape and form often reflected in her work. Having spent her childhood in Chiang Mai, Thailand, she moved to the UK as a teenager and graduated with a BA in three-dimensional design, specialising in ceramics before starting her own small ceramics studio. Aey then spent a few years living in Parma, experiencing all the wonderful produce in this Italian foodie heartland. Inspiring her to create tableware that can be used to present food at its finest.
The Material
Aey loves working with porcelain, although she says it can be very challenging! She explains the material is very delicate and prone to mistakes, but the final finish is very smooth and has a luxurious feel.
Studio
The collection is designed and made in Aey’s garden studio at home in West Sussex. Each piece has been handmade in small batches, using an industrial technique called slip casting. This intricate process involves pouring liquid porcelain into plaster moulds to form a layer inside the mould, with time and patience, requiring careful handling and drying to prevent warping during firing. Each piece is cast with layers of both natural and coloured porcelain slip giving clean lines and bold colours. The individual pieces are carefully hand-finished, glazed inside and polished to give a soft tactile feel.
