Ecru Nymphaea is a sculptural vessel handcrafted by Canadian artist Karen Quirion. Inspired by nature and brutalist architecture, this watertight vessel is both functional and sculptural. Ecru Nymphaea is made from grogged stoneware and has been twice-fired. It has then been covered with a matte cream glaze.

Karen is a self-taught ceramicist working essentially with clay. All of her pieces are hand-built through techniques of coiling, pinching and slab building. Exploring the boundaries of rigidity in their nature, her ceramics are the result in an experiment of deconstruction through organic forms.
