Tash Tribe — 'Stillness Plum' Vessel

The Stillness series is inspired by the Zen gardens of Kyoto. These vessels hold impermanence, simplicity and the passage of time. This vessel form references the 'mei-ping' also known as the Plum Vessel in Chinese ceramics. Originally designed as a storage bottle for wine, with its broad shoulders and slender base, the form evolved over centuries into a celebrated vessel for displaying flowers and a refined art object. The vessel is hand-coiled with 2 lugs, glazed and finished with black ink rubbed into the crazed glaze. The vessel is water tight so can be used as a functional or sculptural piece.
