Extra-large, tall, narrow, four-sided vessel by Suvira McDonald from April 2025.

With straight, flat sides, joined at sharp angles into a rectangular shape, and finished in Suvira's signature palette of soft desert hues, overlaid with dramatic drips of ash glaze, this striking vessel is reminiscent of an imposing granite bluff, and functions perfectly well as both a sculptural piece and a vase.

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.
