Clytemnestra is a wheel-thrown, stoneware ceramic bottle by Abigail Schama. Named for the Spartan princess, she is balanced and graceful in form but distinct in her complexities. She is layered in swaths of white transparent glaze, subtly textured with brushstrokes, and glinted with gold lustre. She is suitable as a decorative piece or to hold flowers.

The making of...

Each piece is the result of an intimate wrangle with the artist on the wheel. Abigail Schama works with a palette of transparent glazes and 24-carat gold lustre layered over a darker clay body. She marks the exterior and interior surfaces, creating a rugged, human tactility and imbuing each vessel with its own inner life. Each pieces' form and contours play on the edges of functionality; no two pieces are alike.
