The designers, Jean and Dylan, were inspired by the diverse textures and colors in Lourenço's ceramic workshop, particularly the gradation achieved with metallic salts in clay firing. This inspiration led to the creation of the Salt Vase, available in earthy orange and light cobalt blue. The appearance of the piece showcases the unique characteristics of Pasta Grés Chamotada clay. Each vase is a testament to the [ancient craft of ceramics](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nicol-morales), with variations in color and texture inherent to the handcrafted process. The Salt Vase Large comes with an ikebana frog for securing plants or flowers.
