Thannie Phan — 'Loa Kèn Trang 1', Sculptural Vessel

Loa Kèn Trắng 1 is a vessel shaped after the calla lily flower. The piece is fully glazed and able to contain water. It's also very thin and light and is able to be used as a lamp shade as well. However, due to the nature of porcelain which does retains heat, choose high quality LED light bulbs if using this piece as lamp shade.

Thannie Phan of ‘Gốm Maker’ is an artist and ceramicist born in Kien Giang, Vietnam. She grew up in Sai Gon and Singapore, lived in Auckland, Sydney (Gadigal Country) and now based in Naarm (Melbourne, Australia).

Her works are hand-built through the technique of pinching coils, using layers of slips, oxides, and glazing thorugh brushing or stamping. The vessels are light, the edges are raw and the palette is restrained. Her practice is a physical interpretation of the stories she writes on where she is, where she was, and the people surrounding her life.
