Oleum Vase – Metallic Black Raku

Price850 €
One-of-a-kind piece
  • LIMITED EDITION WORK
Oleum is a coil-thrown earthenware vase engobed with terra sigillata, hand polished and raku fired in metallic gaz reduction. Its slender, elongated body tapers into a fine, flared neck with a deep metallic black finish. Fire and smoke have marked the surface with flashes of iridescence, veils of bronze and grey, and a grainy, mineral texture that rises from the base. As the light changes, the vase seems to change with it. No firing can be repeated, so this piece is one of a kind. It stands as a single sculptural statement. Made by hand in France by Juliette Pénélope Pépin.

FAQ
Is this raku-fired vase waterproof and safe to use with fresh flowers and water, or is it intended as a decorative piece only?
This piece is intended as a decorative object only and is not waterproof for use with fresh flowers or water.
Since this is a one-of-a-kind piece, does it come with a certificate of authenticity and is it signed by the artist Juliette Pénélope Pépin?
Yes, this one-of-a-kind 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 metallic raku finish to avoid damaging the iridescent surface?
Dust gently with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid water, detergents and any cleaning products, and never soak the piece or place it in a dishwasher. The raku surface is porous and its metallic finish is delicate, so moisture or chemicals could permanently alter the colours and sheen.
How is this fragile ceramic piece packaged for shipping — is protective/custom packaging used to prevent breakage in transit?
This fragile ceramic piece is shipped in custom crate and foam packaging to ensure it arrives safely and protected in transit.
Is a glass or watertight insert included with the vase, or sold separately?
A glass or watertight insert is not available with this vase.
Given the slender, elongated body (32 cm tall), is the base weighted or stable enough to prevent tipping, or is a stand recommended?
The base is stable enough to support the slender, elongated body on its own, so no additional stand is needed.
