About the Item
A further examination of "The Challis" these sculptural pieces become an offering, a gift, a ritual. Rather than just a cup, it is a cup endowed with a unique central sculpture. A fantasy element. A symbol. These pieces go a step further, offering an interior element to gaze upon. I hand build them with my favorite clay body, a beautiful dark brown. Inside the Challis, there is beauty and desire, power and intent. It is private. It is your interpretation that matters, what you see in the offering. What kind of ritual will you create with it? The curious will look in, the satisfied will gaze from afar. All is good! To those who look closely they will be rewarded with the observable technique of the artist: finger marks, scraping, the pinching and forming of the raw clay, glaze added to the bare challis form. Again, no two could ever be the same and the uniqueness is to be celebrated. Signed with Artist's signature chop underneath.

Helena Starcevic Ceramics
Helena Starcevic Ceramics produces work that straddles the line between fine and decorative art. Each piece is one of a kind, hand-built entirely by the artist in her New York studio. Taking inspiration from the natural world, Ms. Starcevic's work includes references to the stark beauty of the desert, prehistoric cave paintings, and the human form (within and without). Everything is filtered through Ms. Starcevic’s own singular aesthetic, at once quiet yet strong, meditative, and beautiful. Pieces are made in different clays and finishes, and at different scales. Groupings are available. Helena Starcevic’s ceramic pieces are held in private collections across the US and Europe. She has held numerous residencies including one at the Museum of Art and Design in New York City.
I would be happy to work with you on the central form of your choice. The interior shapes and colors can be varied in many ways.
