This hand-thrown, lidded porcelain vase features a sculptural caracal perched atop its lid — alert and still, like a quiet guardian of the grasslands. The piece is finished in a warm, tawny tan glaze with crystalline formations that echo the textures and tones of sunlit savanna earth.
A unique detail lies inside the base: real cat claw marks, pressed into the clay when it was still soft and impressionable. Left by a curious feline studio assistant, these marks are now permanently embedded in the fired vessel — an unplanned but poetic collaboration between maker and muse.
Part functional object, part narrative sculpture, Savanna Watcher honors both the wild spirit of the caracal and the quiet moments that shape every handmade piece.
