The Craft Hotel Ubud

Object No. TER-035
Zig-Zag Glass Mosaic Terracotta Vase
Physical Description:

A robust, bulbous terracotta vessel featuring a short, tapered neck and a high-shouldered silhouette, meticulously crafted using traditional Pilin coiling methods. The exterior surface is entirely transformed by an intricate Mozaik treatment, consisting of thousands of tiny, hand-set rectangular glass tiles arranged in a rhythmic, undulating zig-zag pattern. These alabaster white glass shards are inlaid against a dense obsidian black foundation, creating a high-contrast optical effect that emphasizes the vessel’s rounded topography. This piece reflects a sophisticated contemporary Balinese artisanal style, where geometric precision and repetitive tiling techniques are used to mask the raw clay body, resulting in a sleek, architectural object that plays with light and shadow through its textured, monochromatic glass skin.
