Powerhouse Blue Quintal Vase
This beautiful and substantial piece has five internally glazed flutes for the perfect presentation of your favourite blooms. Alternatively this stunning sculptural confection functions equally as a fantastic candle holder. Simply remove any wax drips by pouring boiling water over after use.
Sharing the same DNA and made with the same exclusive 'Powerhouse Blue' porcelain used for the commission featured in the current Powerhouse exhibition 'Clay Dynasty'.
Made exclusively for the Powerhouse Shop in strictly limited numbers. This is a rare opportunity to acquire a never to be repeated work of art.
Challenging the established perceptions of cultural and artistic practices that were once exclusively coded as feminine and thus insignificant, Russell’s work celebrates the decorative, promiscuous aesthetics and politics of purity; the superficial, excess and delight – with pleasure.

“My art is decadent, highly experimental and overtly feminine. I make objects that are an ode to excess, made entirely of decorative ornamentation with the use of high-fired porcelain. My Piped Dream Studio project is a collection of functional pieces that reference the delicate layers and embellishments of my sculptural work”.
