quartzite

t.e. 238 urn

During Thomas' last visit to Aldo Bakkers studio, Thomas saw the urn, made of grey quartzite, a highly concentrated hard stone from India with minimal drawing. A design Aldo had initially created to serve as a vase. Thomas requested Aldo to continue working on the design to make it into an urn. Urn consists of a convex cylinder standing on a kind of stage. Made in one piece, that stage or bottom is repeated as a lid.
The hard line between lid and container makes the difference between top and bottom.
The lid is made to fit closely, and combined with the weight, it stays in place.
