A tall candlestick in Warshawsky's pearl glaze, which beads up on the terracotta instead of sinking in. The body is cut through with openings, so it's lighter than it looks.

Talia Warshawsky makes contemporary ceramics that look like they were dug up in ancient Mesopotamia. She trained in Mashiko, Japan, where the pottery taught her to step away from perfection, and she traces her heritage to Morocco, whose art and culture run through her work. Before clay she spent ten years designing textiles, which is where her love of texture comes from. She works in London, and every piece keeps the marks of her hand.
