Buddy Container

The design for this porcelain container was derived from a study of budding plants. Ikuko finds buds and shoots more attractive than flowers because of the energy they hold, poised to burst open into petals, and it was this energy she wanted to capture. The stigma-like section at the top is achieved by piling up drops of porcelain slip.
