  Certificate of Authenticity

  A Certificate of Authenticity (COA) is a document issued by a reputable source that confirms the genuineness of an artwork. Often, COAs are signed by the artist, but they can also be signed by the gallery representing the artist or the printmaker who collaborated on the piece. For works sold in the secondary market, COAs are frequently issued by authorized estates or foundations.

  COAs usually contain the artist's name, the artwork's title, date, medium, and dimensions, and, whenever possible, an image of the piece.

FAQ

Can this vase hold water for fresh flowers, or is it decorative only? Raku-fired earthenware is often porous.

This vase is intended for decorative use only and is not designed to hold water for fresh flowers.

Is the interior sealed or glazed to prevent seepage, or left raw as traditional raku?

The interior is left raw and unsealed, in keeping with traditional raku craftsmanship.

Does the piece come with a certificate of authenticity and is it signed by the artist Juliette Pénélope Pépin?

Yes, the piece is signed by the artist Juliette Pénélope Pépin and comes with a certificate of authenticity.

What are the recommended care and cleaning instructions for the smoke-fired raku surface?

To dust, wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth or a soft brush. Avoid water, detergents, solvents and abrasive sponges, as these can dull the polish or lift the smoke markings. Always handle the piece with clean, dry hands, holding it by the body rather than the neck or lip. As raku earthenware is porous and not watertight, place a glass or waterproof liner inside before arranging fresh flowers; dried stems may be arranged directly. Display indoors on a stable surface, away from damp areas and heat sources. This piece is decorative and not suitable for food or drink.

Is the base flat and stable, and is it finished (e.g. felt pad or protective coating) to avoid scratching surfaces?

The base is flat and stable, though left unprotected, so we recommend using a felt pad or placing it on a protected surface to avoid scratching.

The description states it is one of a kind — is this part of a numbered series or a true single unique piece?

This is a true one-of-a-kind piece, created as a single unique work rather than part of a numbered series.
