Song of the Spirit I– Incense Holder / Sauce Dish / Sculptural Wabi-Sabi Art

“Song of the Spirit I” – Incense Holder / Sauce Dish / Sculptural Wabi-Sabi Art Plate Hand-pinched and sculpted entirely by hand, this piece draws its gentle silhouette from the organic forms of wild mushrooms. Its layered colors are not painted but achieved by blending different colored clays under a clear glaze—allowing the material’s language to emerge from within. This is a vessel that invites versatility: Use it to hold sauces, cookies, jewelry, or cone incense. Or simply let it stand alone as a quiet sculpture, harmonizing with your space. Ideal for collectors who appreciate natural textures, wabi-sabi sensibilities, and objects that tell a story through time and touch. Also a meaningful, one-of-a-kind gift for someone who values depth, feeling, and the passage of moments.
