Another amazingly detailed piece from Romina of Fruitfire, NZ. This 3-dimensional decorative Light House acknowledges the Edison bulb and the Antikythera mechanism which is an ancient Greek hand-powered orrery, described as the oldest example of an analogue computer used to predict astronomical positions and eclipse decades in advance.

These decorative lighthouses are easily hung from a hole at the back, and self-prop level with the wall.

Romina, assemble, glaze and fire each piece in her home studio and makes all her own molds from hand-sculpted shapes and found objects. These form the various components that come together to make one vessel.

Romina uses a porcelain clay slip and mixes her own colours using stains and some commercial glazes and lusters.

Each piece takes many hours of hands-on time as well as 3-5 firings to complete. Because her vessels are 100% handmade, no two are identical and slight imperfections are part and parcel of each object. Each vessel is fired to 2160°F (1185°C) in an electric kiln and is safe for functional use.
