Brown and Green Double Vase by Jonathan Yamakami

Jonathan Yamakami’s work focuses on handbuilt and wheelthrown vessels, drawing from the raw form and textural abundance of sea creatures, botanical life, and geological formations. Figures from his childhood in Brazil, occasionally intertwined with mythical characters, are also present in his pieces.

While Yamakami’s background in graphic design informs his search for textures and forms, he prefers to embrace a more intuitive process of making and values the unexpected. His work has been featured in Craft Contemporary's CLAY LA and other events. Read our interview with Jonathan here.

Vase measures approx. 7" H x 7.5" W x 4" D with 3-4" diameter openings. Exterior is unglazed; interior is glazed to hold water. The two sides are connected so that water can flow between them.
