Lotus Bud Vase with Ribbed Petal Form

This is a vase that looks like it is in the middle of becoming something. Four broad petals rise from a narrow ribbed base, curling outward and upward in the arrested moment of a bloom opening — each one etched with fine vertical lines that follow the form like growth rings in wood.

The verdigris patina deepens in the channels between ribs and lightens on the raised edges, giving the surface a quality that changes with the light and the angle. Wide enough to hold a generous arrangement, dramatic enough to need none.
