Alexandra Howie — 'Tightly Draped Moon Jar' Sculptural Vase
$750
This moon jar-inspired vase features sculpted drapery that is tightly gathered, creating a sense of refined structure and subtle tension. The smooth, controlled folds evoke the elegance of classical marble sculptures, where every curve and line is meticulously formed. The stoneware is finished with a clear glossy glaze that enhances the sleek, polished surface, highlighting the texture and adding depth.

Alexandra Howie is a ceramic artist based in Melbourne/Naarm. Alexandra uses clay as her primary medium—creating hand built, sculptural vases. She is driven by a fascination with the materiality of clay and its potential to evoke movement and mimicry. Her process is as much about intuition and spontaneity as it is about technical skill. In her latest pieces, she delves into themes of drapery, masking, and the nuances of perception, crafting functional vases that invite viewers to consider what is hidden and what is revealed. Alexandra showcased her work at the 1000 Vases exhibition during Paris Design Week in September 2024.
