#8 - Amphora VIII in Limed Oak

£640.00 GBP
£640.00 GBP
Tax included. Shipping calculated at checkout.

Amphora in our very lightly charred limed finish that has a rim subtly eroded by fire and a surface lightly touched by the flame. The piece is then subtly polished before rinsing in a lime solution and being washed. It is then coated in a UV protective Danish Oil and buffed with Renaissance wax before a thorough burnishing with a very stiff brush to create a rich textured surface. Finally any natural fissures and imperfections are celebrated through mending with waxed cotton stitch-work.

For the first Studio collection of the year; ’Amphorae’ inspired by ancient Grecian water vessels, we decided to play with a pared back and playful yet limited run of forms, each piece a unique iteration of our classic Amphora. We wanted to show how you can work within relatively limited parameters to create a diverse family of works that are all created within a distinct rule set.

Product Care

These vessels have been finished with a UV protective danish oil as well as a very fine microcrystalline wax that’s then been buffed to give it a subtle polish.

I recommend cleaning and dusting your vessel with a stiff clean brush, (we tend to use a small nail brush or something of the sort) not only will this help to clean anything out of the textured grain but also serve to further buff the finish underneath. If absolutely necessary use a lint free damp cloth to rub the surface and then dry it off and buff it with a brush in the manner mentioned above.
