The Juggler’s Vase
Entertainment and hard work are words that are seldom associated with one another, yet a Juggler is one who knows the effort required to be able to multitask. As mesmerising as it is to watch, it also resembles the care, dedication and resilience required to start afresh over and over till the art is perfected.

To clean stains from the illustrated area and/ remove fungus, you can wipe the surface with a solution of vinegar and water. Avoid using hard chemicals or abrasives on the surface, as it may cause permanent damage to the illustration as well as the organically coated black colour of the planter. For indoor use only.
Every vase is born from a series of processes all governed by hands. Each vase, after a process of wheel-throwing, are shaped and moulded by hand for their asymmetric form and contours. As a result, each piece is bound to carry varying forms of dips and dimples, from piece to piece. The moulded and high-fired vases are then exposed to smoke for hours for its natural black colour. Some planters may carry traces of brown, which is completely natural and unique to each planter. They are entirely hand-illustrated, a process that takes many hours to complete, and therefore, there will be slight variations in its illustration from the image provided.
