Rollo Handmade Indonesian Terracotta Vessel

Indonesian terracotta shaped into an unexpected vertical form

The Rollo Vessel rises through a sequence of rounded forms, narrowing at the center before opening into a broad, flattened rim. A thick ring wraps around its waist, breaking the symmetry and giving the elongated silhouette its most distinctive detail.

Created by Twenty Third by Deanne in partnership with local artisans in Indonesia, the vessel is handcrafted from terracotta clay and fired through multiple stages. The process leaves subtle tonal shifts and texture across the surface, allowing the natural character of the clay to remain visible.

Craft & Indonesian Origin

Local Artisan Partnership: Rollo is part of Twenty Third by Deanne’s collection of terracotta vessels developed with local artisans in Indonesia.
Handcrafted Construction: Each vessel is individually formed rather than produced as a perfectly uniform object.
Multiple Firing Stages: The terracotta passes through several stages of firing to develop its finished color and textured surface.
Natural Variation: Differences in tone and texture are expected results of the clay and handmade process.

Form & Material

Terracotta Clay: The warm earthen material reinforces the vessel’s strong silhouette while bringing natural color into the room.
Sculptural Center Ring: A raised loop encircles the narrow waist, introducing depth and an unexpected break between the upper and lower forms.
Elongated Proportion: At 19.5 inches tall, the vessel creates a strong vertical line without requiring a wide surface.
Disc Shaped Rim: The broad, flattened opening adds horizontal contrast at the top of the slender form.

Placement & Display

Console or Sideboard: Use Rollo to introduce height among lower bowls, books, or decorative objects.
Pedestal Display: Present it alone where the ringed center and changing curves can be seen from several angles.
Open Shelving: Its narrow footprint makes it suited to a tall shelf with enough clearance to show the complete silhouette.
Earthy Pairings: Combine with aged brass, dark wood, stone, woven textiles, and deeper seasonal colors.
