Relic Marbled carries the same ammonite coil clusters and rough stoneware body as the Chrome variant, but the palette shifts to warm earth: sandy tan and russet terracotta-brown, genuinely marbled, the two tones interweaving across the surface like sedimentary layers.
The ammonite fossil impressions cover both faces, large and legible against the warm glaze. Sierra Kanistanaux built the Relic series around these coastal-fragment references, each piece holding the weight of something excavated rather than thrown.
Handbuilt in San Francisco. The marbled glaze varies between firings: no two colorway iterations are identical.

About
Sierra Kanistanaux
Sierra Kanistanaux builds her ceramics entirely by hand, drawing from sources as far apart as the tidal remnants of the Northern California coast and the elemental charge of fire. Based in San Francisco, her practice unfolds across two bodies of work that hold each other in tension. The Relic series gathers coastal fragments, ancient-object forms and layered oceanic textures into vessels that carry a quiet grandeur, as if unearthed from another era rather than fired in a kiln. The Flames series reaches the opposite pole: Above The Flames and Climbing Flames approach fire as a force of transformation, their forms rising with heat and accumulated energy.
