{"product_id":"forest-bottle-1","title":"Forest Bottle [1]","description":"\u003cp\u003eA wood-fired ceramic Forest Bottle by Kaiqi Qiu, made during her residency at Driving Creek Pottery in the Coromandel. Working with local clays and ash glazes, she immersed herself in the materials of this place, learning their behaviour, their weight, their resistance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eKaiqi's ceramics are rooted in close observation of the natural world. The fluidity of native bush, the texture of bark and lichen, the slow spread of fungi across wood grain, these forms and surfaces find their way into her vessels through touch and instinct.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHer process begins with wheel-thrown forms and evolves through deliberate hand-building alterations, intuitively guided by the material itself. The Forest Bottle is hand-built and altered, its tall narrow form holding the marks of making in its surface. Ash glazes and wood firing deepen the piece: rusted matte exteriors give way to dripping sage-green glossy glazes within.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eH180 x W95mm\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Kaiqi Qiu","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43312289579121,"sku":"KAI-007","price":230.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0594\/9675\/9409\/files\/ForestBottleA1-01.jpg?v=1780629326","url":"https:\/\/shop.handcraftedmodern.co\/products\/forest-bottle-1","provider":"Handcrafted Modern","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
