Chrysalis Pitcher with Branch Handle

Chrysalis Pitcher with Branch Handle embodies a moment of quiet transformation, where organic form and functional pottery meet in a state of becoming. The smooth, cocoon-like body offers a sense of shelter and emergence, its soft glaze pooling gently over the rounded surface like diffused light. Contrasting this calmness, the hand-sculpted branch handle introduces a raw, tactile energy—its textured twists recalling growth, resilience, and the natural world’s tendency to evolve in unexpected directions. The spout, with its subtle ridges, echoes the rhythms of unfolding layers. Together, these elements create a vessel that feels simultaneously ancient and alive, a functional sculpture that invites contemplation on growth, metamorphosis, and the beauty inherent in transition.
