With its beautifully restrained silhouette and richly varied surface, the YUU feels less like conventional pottery and more like a collected artifact—an especially striking addition to \u003cstrong\u003eThe Designer’s Courtyard\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach vessel is formed entirely by hand by women artisans in Oaxaca using \u003cstrong\u003eancestral ceramic techniques passed down through generations\u003c\/strong\u003e. No molds are used; every YUU is shaped individually, allowing the subtle gestures and irregularities of the handmade process to remain visible.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter forming, the vessel is fired using a \u003cstrong\u003etraditional open-flame technique\u003c\/strong\u003e. Smoke and heat interact unpredictably with the natural clay, producing nuanced tonal shifts, firing marks, and variations in texture that give each piece its distinctive patina. These characteristics are not imperfections but signatures of the process, ensuring that no two vessels are exactly alike.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAvailable in two heights, the YUU is compelling displayed alone as a sculptural object or arranged as a pair for greater architectural presence.
