B Fora Vase

B Fora

B Fora is a ceramic vase designed for home interiors. The form reinterprets the classic Greek amphora and adds curved surfaces and two straight handles.

The inside is dipped in a glossy crystalline coating that makes the vase waterproof, so liquids can be held safely. B Fora can be used to serve beverages, to hold flowers or as a decorative object. The vase is made of whiteware ceramic through the slipcasting technique.
