Haiku P08816-P00154 maple and walnut woodA study in balance and restraint, Haiku is part of the JeanElton portfolio of ceramic TallVases, where simplicity meets depth in a refined interplay of contrast and movement.

The surface treatment is a meditation in form, where negative space is just as powerful as the painted elements.
