Hammered Earth / No. 7
Light finds every mark.
No. 7 is shaped by repeated hand-hammering. The surface is not a pattern laid over the form; it is the form, a field of small impacts that holds shadow, touch, and the rhythm of the maker.

A vessel of good wishes
A surface with its own weather.
Every depression turns slightly differently, so the body never reflects light in one uninterrupted plane. It feels less like ornament than a small topography made by pressure.
The taller profile gives that texture room to travel from shoulder to lid and spout. In use, the tactile body settles into a steady, measured pour.
The object, in hand
Made to be held.
Made to be lived with.
The vessel, measured
Small in scale.
Precise in presence.
A taller rounded profile worked with hand-hammered marks, a balanced circular handle, and a narrow spout for a controlled pour.
