Garden of Hesperides

This raku pottery vase, titled ‘Garden of Hesperides,’ draws inspiration from the mythic orchard where golden apples glimmer beneath a sunlit sky in a grove by the sea.

The delicate crackle patterns evoke the branches of the ancient trees—but, alas, it does not come with the guardian Hesperides nymphs!
