Long Cabled Bag with Round Ends

$125.00

Your eyes will tell you this piece is soft knitting but your touch will tell you it’s ceramic. And they both will be right, because clay doesn’t get knitted and knitting isn’t usually hard. But here it is: a lovely intricately knit and shaped porcelain low bag with cabled pattern and two rounded solid slab ends. What’s going on? It starts with a handknit cotton shape which is dipped in liquid porcelain, stitched and shaped and then fired to temperature. The cotton burns away, leaving a detailed memory of the knitting. It is light, showing all the handknit details. It is strong because porcelain, contrary to its appearance, is quite tough. What remains is the amazement. See all the photos to enjoy this one-of-a-kind piece.

  • Formed from hand-knitted cotton
  • Sewn and hand-formed into shape
  • Translucent white
  • Great with succulents or air plants
