Helga Ritsch
Vessel (medium, 2021)
Singular piece, ceramic, white, unglazed
Description
The clean lines of this nearly triangular vessel stand in contrast to its delicate appearance, further enhanced by its astonishing thinness. A neutral piece in white, it harmonises with almost any environment, while imparting a subtle yet structurally refined accent. Crafted individually, each piece embodies a unique form and identity, shaped by the artist's intellectual and physical interaction during its creation.

AGOBAY Showroom ZurichCrafted entirely by Helga’s hands on the potter’s wheel, each piece is unique, without any possibility of replication. Skilfully crafted, this thin Ming porcelain piece gains its lasting strength during oxidation firing at 1,340°.
Each vessel bears the artist’s signature and stamp, and is created at her atelier, located within her 400-year-old home in Soazza, a village of just over 300 inhabitants nestled in the Swiss mountains.
300 g, height 80 mm, diameter 155 mm

The vessel is dishwasher safe. However, once you hold your piece in your hands, you will probably prefer to care for it personally. We recommend handwashing it gently with a soft sponge and thoroughly drying it. Do not wash it with any cleansing agents and avoid using abrasive sponges. It must not be directly exposed to temperature shocks, whether from a flame, conventional oven, microwave, induction cooktop, freezer, refrigerator or other source of heat or cold. Avoid any shocks or friction. If you care for it, it will last a lifetime and beyond, unless it is accidentally dropped or shattered. Over time, this unglazed piece may develop a distinct patina, a natural transformation influenced by its purpose and usage. Evolving at its own unhurried pace, this process enriches your piece, rendering it truly one of a kind.
Every porcelain object is meticulously packaged to ensure its safe delivery. In the rare event of any cracks occurring during shipping, please contact us within a week of delivery.
