Medium-sized, five-sided vessel by Suvira McDonald from September 2025. 

A bravura piece from a master potter, this compact yet powerful work has an irregular, five-sided form, featuring swathes of burnt orange covered in dripping, melted ash - a dramatic and ever-changing finish resulting from a three day wood-firing.

Suvira McDonald is a legendary potter based in Northern NSW, whose career spans more than 30 years.

He's known for his lush, generous forms and glazes, and many pieces are wood fired in a Japanese style anagama kiln. Crackled, fire-coloured surfaces that look like the vessel is itself a glowing ember are a hallmark of McDonald's style.

Each piece is like an artwork in its own right, inviting extended contemplation and use, which rewards with a deeper connection to the vessel.
