MẶC NƯA VASE
Inspired by the mặc nưa fruit, the piece illustrates the deep black that surfaces when the naturally green fruit is plucked, ground, and oxidized overnight — transitioning into an all-natural midnight dye for lacquer silk. The movement of dye and layers of black are mirrored by the varied surfaces within this application of crawling glaze.

Artist Profile:
Steffany Trần
(Vy Voi Studio)
She is a Vietnamese ceramist based in New York city, with a background is in industrial design. Through porcelain, she focuses on crafting pure forms with a human touch. She constantly experiments with dynamism and contrast in form, considering how pieces stand independently as well as their balance in groups – embodying moments of honestly, comfort, and warmth. She primarily works with porcelain for not only its elegant results when fired but for its fickle personality when throwing, celebrating its carefree, unpredictable nature.
