The good gold days

2020

This hand thrown porcelain vessel exemplifies the Haas Brothers' signature approach to contemporary craft, transforming a simple dome form into a textured, tactile object through the careful accrual of golden spheres across its surface. The warm, lustrous gold creates an almost urchin like or sea creature quality, suggesting organic growth and accumulated richness. A white porcelain base grounds the composition while brass detailing adds refinement to the whimsical form. The piece balances meticulous craftsmanship with playful anthropomorphism, embodying the studio's philosophy that everyday objects and vessels can possess personality and wonder.
