Ratu Vessel Cream
Some objects exist purely to make you stop and reconsider what “decor” could actually mean.
What it is:
The Ratu Vessel Cream is a sculptural terracotta vessel handmade by skilled artisans in Bali, Indonesia, using a centuries-old technique. Its highly textured matte cream glaze and organic form give it a presence that’s both subtle and commanding.
Why you'll actually use it:
This isn’t just a shelf filler. Whether you display dried stems, let it stand solo as a sculptural statement, or just admire it while sipping coffee, the Ratu vessel adds depth, tactility, and a little bit of history to your space.
Key details:
Materials: Terracotta clay, cream underglaze, matte cream glaze
Dimensions: 7.5" W x 8" H
Handmade by Balinese artisans using traditional techniques
Sculptural and decorative — not limited to functional use
Free shipping within the USA; final sale
It’s a little piece of Bali, a little act of craftsmanship, and a little reminder that objects don’t have to be silent to be beautiful.
About the brand: Powered by People
Powered by People is basically what happens when “shopping small” gets a global operating system. Instead of mass-produced sameness, they connect you with makers who are spinning out hand-dyed textiles, hand-thrown ceramics, and jewelry that feels like it was pulled from an alternate reality where craftsmanship never went out of style. The through-line isn’t just aesthetics—it’s the insistence that every object has both utility and a backstory, often rooted in sustainable practices, reclaimed materials, and cultural traditions that would otherwise get bulldozed by the modern marketplace. In short: they’re trying to prove that conscious consumption doesn’t have to look like homework.
