The Alexandra is the fuller of the two Onua vases, 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, saturated blackish-brown, the tone of inland earth drenched by the rains, dark and rich with moisture. The interior is finished with a clear glaze, leaving a smooth, reflective surface against the raw clay outside.
