The Craft Hotel Ubud

Object No. TER-031
Relief-Carved Terracotta Lotus Bowl
Physical Description:

A wide, low-profile terracotta vessel featuring a robust, rounded body and a thick, uniform rim, meticulously shaped through the traditional Pilin coiling method. The exterior surface is defined by a continuous band of hand-carved Ukir relief, showcasing stylized tropical floral motifs and fluid, interlocking vine patterns that wrap seamlessly around the circumference. Finished in a warm burnt sienna matte wash, the carving technique creates a subtle play of light and shadow within the shallow recesses, emphasizing the organic symmetry of the botanical design. This piece balances its solid, earthy form with a refined decorative texture inspired by the storied stone-carving traditions of Balinese temple architecture, resulting in a timeless artisanal object that celebrates the tactile versatility of local clay.
