A sculptural pop for your plants.
The Seed vases add a touch of playfulness to your space. Fill them with water and style with unique fresh leaves, small trailing greens or nothing at all! They look great as a standalone sculpture to decorate a small wall space, or style them as an accessory to the other pieces of the collection.
MADE TO MIX & MATCH!

This gold splash Seed vase consists of a splash of clear shiny glaze fired on first, then laboriously hand painted later with 18K gold lustre, and fired again for a third time in the kiln. Variances in the design will occur due to the handmade nature of the splatter. (Gold splash is now applied in a more delicate technique like the standalone product photo here)
The interior of these vases is sealed with a clear glaze to ensure water tightness.
Mount to the wall with one small nail (no wall stud required as they are lightweight), or purchase additional velcro strips from us if holes in the wall are not an option.

MiMOKO is thrilled to launch its first ever slip cast collection, Nature Finds a Way.
Slip casting is an exciting way to make ceramics as it allows you to produce complex shapes that wouldn't be possible using the wheel. It is an entirely different way to how we normally produce ceramics.
We have designed our own models (some with clay and some with 3D printing technology), overcome the complexities of mold making (easier said than done as you have to create both master and production molds), and leapt into the art of slip casting.
This new method consists of pouring a liquid clay (slip) into our plaster molds. As plaster is inherently absorbent, the clay forms a shell inside the mold’s walls. Once a desired thickness of clay shell has been reached, the excess slip can be poured out. After 30-60 minutes, once the cast has sufficiently hardened, it can be taken out of the mold and the seam cleaned up with a fine point blade and a delicate sponge.
Although learning and mastering this new method of production was far more complex than we had anticipated, we couldn’t be happier with the results and the knowledge gained for future work.
