The Craft Hotel Ubud

Object No. TER-011
Grain-Textured Charcoal Vessel
Physical Description:

A slender, tapered terracotta vessel featuring a narrow neck and high, rounded shoulders that transition into a rhythmic, tactile surface. The exterior is entirely defined by a dense arrangement of hand-pinched relief work, where hundreds of small, seed-like grains—inspired by the sacred significance of Beras (rice) in Balinese life—are applied using the Cubit technique to create an organic, high-relief texture. The piece is finished in a deep, burnished charcoal wash with espresso undertones, allowing ashy grey highlights to settle on the raised “grains” for a sophisticated play of light and shadow. The unrefined, matte quality of the clay emphasizes its hand-wrought origin, presenting a sculptural form that bridges traditional agrarian motifs with modern artisanal design.
