Wild Aesthetics Meet Conceptual Art

The "Tiger" ceramic vase is a monumental and expressive statement piece of interior art.

The defining feature of this piece is the striking, detailed eyes, transforming a functional vessel into a living art object with its own character and gaze.

Standing at an impressive 30 cm tall, this vase is designed to be a standalone centerpiece in a living room, hallway, or executive office. It seamlessly complements contemporary interior styles, including Ethnic, Minimalism, Industrial Loft, and Wabi-Sabi.

Materials & Authentic Craftsmanship

Every millimeter of this piece is formed entirely by hand, ensuring your vase is an absolute one-of-a-kind original:

• The Base: Crafted from premium coarse clay (Chamotte/Stoneware) from the world-renowned Belgian manufacturer Sibelco. The use of high-grade refractory chamotte provides the vase with exceptional strength, durability, and a heavy, pleasantly tactile, grainy texture.

• Milk-Firing Technique (Molochinnya): The rich tiger pattern and deep, smoky gradients are achieved using a traditional eco-friendly method. After the initial kiln firing, the ceramic is bathed in natural organic milk and fired a second time. The milk caramelizes inside the porous clay, creating unique dark gradients and giving the surface a warm, silky-smooth finish.

• Artistic Details: The contrasting white drips around the neck and the lifelike, detailed eye paintings are rendered using certified, eco-friendly glazes from the German company Terra Color.

• Durability: Double high-temperature kiln firing at 1100°C ensures the ceramic is robust, stable, and highly resistant to external factors.

Technical Specifications:

• Product Name: Tiger (Tyhrova).

Please Note: Due to the organic nature of milk-firing and pure handcrafting, each vase is entirely unique. The distribution of dark spots, the intensity of the tiger pattern, and slight texture variations serve as the artist's signature and can never be duplicated.
