Naomi Urn Small

The Naomi Urn Small is 31cm across and 30cm high, in black textured clay with a sculptural profile. It is not suitable for planting into. It works alone or grouped with the taller version.

Grouping is where this piece is at its best, and the two Naomi sizes are close enough in diameter to sit convincingly together. Set beside the tall version the difference reads as a deliberate step in height rather than as two unrelated objects.

Because it cannot be planted, treat it as an object first. Artificial stems are the usual answer and they work here, but so does leaving it empty: the textured clay carries enough interest to hold a shelf on its own.

At 31cm across and 30cm high the proportions are almost square, which reads as settled and heavy. That suits a low position, on a hearth or the floor beside a chair, better than a high shelf where the mass looks precarious.
