About the Item
This contemporary cream sculpture in the shape of an egg timer is handmade from stoneware. Within the piece are two hollows that hold 24 karat gold lustre spheres or ‘golden eggs’. As an alternative to the typical sand used in an egg timer, they appear to pour through from the top to bottom. The piece explores the societal and biological pressure women feel in their thirties to have children, evoking the feeling of time running out. The hourglass shape of the piece is a reference to the female form. It is often associated with beauty and attractiveness, but also with connotations related to youth, fertility, and reproductive potential.
Created by Miyelle at her studio in Hackney, London, this unique piece is part of her latest ceramic collection “Evolving Femininity” which explores, honours and challenges notions of womanhood. The pieces in the collection reflect biological themes such as the cyclical transformation of our menstrual cycle, aging and fertility. While also focussing on the emotional and lifestyle changes we navigate as our lives progress.
The piece is made from textured stoneware and the body is unglazed so you can admire the light cream colour of the clay. The golden eggs are glazed with a satin and transparent glaze and painted with 24 karat gold lustre with some visible brush strokes. There is a softness and imperfection attributed to the handmade nature of the piece with visible textural markings from the clay and making process.

Miyelle
Miyelle creates ceramic sculptures that reflect the nuances of the human experience. Our work is an exploration of antithesis—the tensions between strength and fragility, solitude and connection, stability and change.
We find beauty in this duality. Our design language juxtaposes organic forms inspired by the body, water, and the solar system with clean, geometric lines. Smooth curves meet sharp edges, and exaggerated proportions are used to find harmony in contrast.
Miyelle was born from a desire to reconnect with the tactile in an increasingly digital world. With roots in graphic design, we apply principles of form, colour, and space to the ancient medium of clay, creating a dialogue between contemporary theory and elemental materials.
We believe clay is the perfect medium to express metamorphism. It is mouldable and volatile, transformed by hand, environment, and fire. In the same way, our lives are shaped by our choices and the forces around us. Ultimately, our pieces are an attempt to capture the beauty of these transformations, celebrating the complex and elegant shapes of our lives.
