Small Boats
This unique, one-of-a-kind copper vessel showcases a cloisonné design, capturing a stormy sea inspired by Hokusai’s iconic ‘The Great Wave’. If you look closely, under the full moon, you’ll find a tiny boat crammed with people – how desperate must they be to be taking that journey? And if you look even more closely, you might just see the faint Starlink satellites passing by, offering little solace.
More than just a vessel, this is a functional art piece designed to bring lasting beauty and conversation to your space.
Each vessel is meticulously hand-fired with multiple layers of vitreous enamel, a time-honoured process that fuses glass to copper at high temperatures, creating unique and lasting works of art. From careful shaping to intricate enamelling, every stage of its creation is individually handcrafted. Find out more about my process.

These objects are beautiful as they are, or they can take on new meaning: filled with water to hold a handpicked wildflower, with sand to steady an incense stick, a vessel for dreams and intentions, a container for a single dry grass, or something else entirely.
This piece is not intended for use as a drinking vessel and should not be used as one due to the risk of copper toxicity.
As this is a unique, individually handmade enamel piece, the vessel pictured is the exact one you will receive. Once sold, it’s gone, making it a truly unique and heirloom addition to your collection; particularly in this case as the enamel is allowed to flow in places to create the watery spray effect.
