Ceramic vase – Galuchat Doré

In her ceramics workshop in Paris, Karen Swami creates unique pieces that reflect a quest for authentic inspiration. This Galuchat Doré collection, composed mainly of yellow colored ceramic vases, is based on arid and desert soils. Karen Swami took up the challenge of reproducing this cracked effect by creating a yellow glaze enriched with bone ash, applied on red sandstone. She then explored variations in colour and texture, evolving the desert evocation into a galuchat-like aesthetic. Thanks to the different earths and metal oxides used, these vases of ceramics for home decor evoke the animal, plant or mineral world alternately and highlight the richness of materials and finesse craftmanship of the French ceramist.
