The Alexandra is the fuller of the two Onua vessels, hand-formed in stoneware with a rounded body drawn from the feminine figurative tradition of Akan sculpture. The contoured profile and central taper require a higher degree of precision in shaping.
Soil is one of the collection’s pigmented clay bodies, coloured throughout with mineral and organic pigments blended into the clay. The colour reads as a deep mineral tone with scorched, charcoal hues, drawn from the dark, fire-touched earth of West African soils after the dry season. The interior is finished with a clear glaze, leaving a smooth, reflective surface against the raw clay outside.
Each piece has natural variations in tone, texture, and form inherent to the process.
