Sewu Sculptural Terracotta Vessel | Cream

There's a certain audacity in borrowing inspiration from a thousand-year-old temple and turning it into a vase.

The Sewu Vessel from Twenty Third by Deanne borrows its distinctive silhouette from the crown of Indonesia's Sewu Temple, translating ancient architecture into a wonderfully sculptural object for the modern home. Handcrafted by Indonesian artisans from terracotta clay, its stacked, curvaceous layers taper through the middle and rise into a beautifully irregular form that feels both architectural and organic. Finished in a richly textured chocolate-brown glaze, Sewu has the warmth and character of an object that's been around for generations. The surface catches light in unexpected ways, emphasizing the subtle variations that come from working with clay by hand. At an impressive 22 inches tall, it has enough presence to anchor a console, entryway, or generously proportioned shelf without requiring much else around it.
