Faustine Telleschi: Master of Stoneware

There is a quiet drama that happens when stoneware meets the human hand. Faced with clay and time, the artist coaxes movement from a material known for its stillness. Faustine Telleschi is that kind of artist—one who allows form, texture, and light to converse on the surface of every vessel. In the Trove Gallery curation of the Faustine Telleschi collection, you will find stoneware objects that feel as if they are caught mid-bloom, mid-wave, mid-whisper. This is sculpture for everyday life: tactile, expressive, and beautifully made.

In this feature, we explore her signature vocabulary—waves and ruffles, rosettes and appliqués—while guiding you through pieces you can live with and collect. Whether you are seeking a singular statement vase or a quietly powerful bowl, this is where to buy Faustine Telleschi and bring the artistry home.

A quiet language of form: meet the artist

Every great object begins with intention. As a maker, the Faustine Telleschi artist approach favors contemplative, hand-formed structures that play with volume and negative space. Edges aren’t simply edges in her work; they are sketches of motion. Surfaces are not merely finished; they become terrains—sometimes velvety matte, sometimes laced with a glossy punctuation—capturing the rhythm of light.

Collectors often describe Faustine Telleschi pottery as poised between nature and architecture. You’ll notice references to petals, folds, tides, and mineral strata. Yet each piece remains rigorously designed, resolved from every angle, and wonderfully functional. These objects succeed as vessels, centerpieces, and sculptures—equally at home on dining tables, mantels, and plinths.

Because the work rewards close looking, we invite you to browse the full Faustine Telleschi collection at Trove Gallery. From undulating silhouettes to detailed appliqués, each piece is a study in how far stoneware can be pushed while honoring the material’s integrity.

The language of movement: vases that flow

Some artists shape clay to hold flowers; Faustine shapes clay to hold motion. Her series of wave-evoking vases captures flux in three dimensions—pieces that seem to lean into a breeze or ripple like water across a dark pool.

Start with the Undulating Vase ($275.00), a study in rhythm and restraint. Its rolling profile gleams in the soft light of late afternoon, creating gentle shadows that shift through the day. This is a versatile silhouette—striking alone and breathtaking with tall stems that echo its ascent.

For vertical drama, the Elongated Vase ($307.00) elevates the eye. The slender lift is punctuated by subtle contours, transforming the everyday act of placing a few branches into a sculptural gesture. On a console or sideboard, it reads as a line drawing in space.

The Wavy Vase ($356.00) amplifies this sensation with more pronounced folds. Place it near a window and watch the light chase across each ridge. It’s a piece that trades predictability for surprise—a beautiful reminder that movement is a form of ornament.

Where waves meet layers, the Layered Waves Bowl ($307.00) turns the motif inward. This low, generous form is a tactile invitation—a centerpiece that loves fruit, floating blossoms, or nothing at all. The sculpted strata feel carved by time.

Seeking a bold, gallery-level statement? The Sculptured Vase ($453.00) reads almost architectural, with volumes that swell and recede. It’s the kind of work that redefines the room: a focal point that remains calm, confident, and deeply contemporary.

And for a flourish that channels motion into a crescendo, the Ruffles Vase ($534.00) registers as a soft exhale turned to stoneware. The fluted edges catch and release light, transforming shadow into ornament. Styled with airy blooms, it becomes poetry—without saying a word.

Contrast, too, has a dedicated place in Faustine’s vocabulary. The Contrast Vase ($291.00) explores tension: smooth versus textured, dark versus light. It’s an inviting, modern piece that uplifts minimal interiors and adds clarity to more eclectic spaces.

Faustine’s contemplation of bloom forms yields two striking companions. The Toffee Corolle Vase ($320.00) invites warmth, with petal-like folds recalling the opening of a flower at dusk. Its counterpart, the majestic Large Grey Corolla Vase ($969.00), offers commanding scale—an heirloom-level vessel that anchors a room. Together or apart, they speak a shared language of emergence and grace.

The poetry of appliqué: dots, bands, droplets, and lace

Faustine Telleschi’s appliqué work is where detail becomes narrative. By building the surface with hand-placed elements, she creates tactile topographies that beg to be seen—and felt—up close. These pieces are sensual: they slow you down, draw you in, and reward attention with nuanced rhythm.

The Tiny Appliques Vase ($421.00) is an intimate conversation between form and touch. Hundreds of delicate additions pattern the surface like a murmuration of petals. From a distance, the vase reads as a soft halo; up close, each appliqué hosts its own shadow, its own moment.

In the Appliqued Band Vase ($340.00), the gesture becomes architectural: a defined, tactile band wraps the vessel, establishing a horizon line your eye returns to. It’s a masterclass in proportion, balancing restraint with detail.

The Scattered Applique Vase ($307.00) loosens the pattern across the surface, suggesting snowfall or seedfall—quiet, organic, and delightfully unexpected. If you live with natural textures—linen, jute, wood—this piece will feel right at home.

For a more graphic read, the Black Droplets Vase ($405.00) makes each dot a punctuation mark. The interplay of dark accents against stoneware grounds the form in modernity while keeping it eminently tactile.

Two glazed studies round out this narrative of touch. The Glazed Applique Vase ($307.00) layers shine over relief, turning the surface into a light-catching topography. Meanwhile, the Glazed Dots Vase ($372.00) uses reflective notes to accent the rhythm of each dot—lively, celebratory, and still impeccably refined.

Then there is lace, rendered in clay. The Floral Lace Vase ($405.00) translates filigree into something architectural. It’s lyrical without being precious, a vessel that complements botanicals as easily as it stands alone.

Rosettes and corollas: sculpting the moment of bloom

Beneath Faustine’s hands, the moment when a flower crosses from bud to bloom is sculpted in stoneware. Rosettes unfurl; corollas expand; time materializes in the curl of a petal or the density of a cluster.

The Rosetta Vase ($437.00) feels like a bouquet paused in full bloom. Each rosette is a small sculpture; together they form a crescendo around the vessel. It is both object and offering, a tender monument to growth.

With the Glossy Rosetta Vase ($307.00), the same vocabulary shifts under a subtle sheen. Light gathers along the edges of each rosette, lending a sense of dew at dawn. Place it on a mantel and watch it gather the morning.

In the Elegant Bloom Vase ($372.00), Faustine distills the idea of a flower to its structural essentials. The contours feel composed, serene, and elevated—ideal for pared-back arrangements or sculptural branches.

These floral idioms converse beautifully with the corolla studies mentioned earlier—the Toffee Corolle Vase ($320.00) and the commanding Large Grey Corolla Vase ($969.00). Together, they form a chorus: rosette, bloom, corolla—each a different articulation of emergence, each unmistakably Faustine.

Objects for living: bowls, spheres, and murals

Faustine’s practice extends beyond vases into objects that shift how we read surfaces and walls. Each work remains resolutely functional in spirit—meant to be lived with, not just looked at—yet holds its own as sculpture.

Begin at the table with the Layered Waves Bowl ($307.00), whose tiered topography frames fruit, shells, or flower heads. Texture and shadow bring vitality to simple rituals—arranging citrus, setting a still life, serving a seasonal salad.

For a striking yin-and-yang of tone and shape, the Yin & Yang Bowl ($680.00) explores balance. Soft curves counter a strong graphic read; the whole composition settles into harmony that feels both ancient and new. On a dining table, it reads as sculpture between gatherings.

Spherical forms push the appliqué vocabulary into round, self-contained worlds. The Applique Sphere ($534.00) wraps a constellation of textures around a perfectly balanced orb. Set it on a console and the form becomes a meditative anchor—calm weight and tactile interest.

The Rosetta Sphere ($469.00) transforms rosettes into a lush, blooming planet. It’s playful yet elevated, an object that draws touch and conversation. Pair the two spheres for a dialogue between pattern and bloom.

On the wall, Faustine’s murals extend her language into reliefs that catch light across the day. The Tumbled Mural ($437.00) suggests stones worn smooth by time, with elements that seem to have gently fallen into place. It brings the serenity of a riverbed to vertical space.

The Rosetta Mural ($566.00) offers a floral counterpoint—clusters of sculpted blossoms that create a living surface. Install it where daylight passes; you’ll watch the wall breathe as light maps itself across the relief.

Styling, collecting, and caring for stoneware

Consider Faustine’s work as you would fine furniture: intended for daily life and transformed by how you place and pair it. Here are a few guiding ideas as you build your Faustine Telleschi collection.

Compose with contrast. Pair the lyrical with the minimal: let the Ruffles Vase ($534.00) sing beside the clean silhouette of the Elongated Vase ($307.00). Place the graphic Contrast Vase ($291.00) against warm wood for maximum clarity.

Create rhythm through repetition. A trio of wave forms—a Wavy Vase ($356.00), Undulating Vase ($275.00), and Layered Waves Bowl ($307.00)—shares a vocabulary but varies the tempo. This is how to make a mantel vignette feel curated rather than arranged.

Stage light the way you stage flowers. Place the Glossy Rosetta Vase ($307.00) where morning sun can skim its edges. Situate the Black Droplets Vase ($405.00) where lamplight will animate its pattern at night. Textured surfaces repay attention to illumination.

Mix function and sculpture. Use the Yin & Yang Bowl ($680.00) as a fruit centerpiece by day and a stand-alone sculpture by evening. Let the Applique Sphere ($534.00) keep company with books on a low shelf, while the Rosetta Sphere ($469.00) punctuates a pedestal.

Install reliefs where life happens. The Tumbled Mural ($437.00) brings tranquility to a reading corner; the Rosetta Mural ($566.00) adds celebratory texture to a dining room wall. Because they interact with light, these murals will feel alive across the seasons.

Care is simple. Stoneware is durable by nature. Dust with a soft, dry cloth; for unglazed areas, a microfiber cloth prevents snagging. Avoid harsh cleaners—gentle, pH-neutral soap and water suffice. If using vases for fresh flowers, empty and dry after each use to honor the piece for decades to come.

Above all, collect with your senses. Run your fingertips along the appliqués of the Tiny Appliques Vase ($421.00). Observe the shifting shadows across the Sculptured Vase ($453.00). Listen to how your space changes when a work like the Large Grey Corolla Vase ($969.00) enters the room. This is living with art, not merely owning it.

Why collectors choose Faustine—and where to begin

There are many reasons seasoned collectors and first-time buyers seek out Faustine Telleschi pottery. The work balances strength and softness. It invites touch without demanding it. It is recognizable yet never repetitive. Most of all, it brings an everyday intimacy to sculpture—the feeling that a piece is with you, not apart from you.

If you are beginning, consider choosing one work that anchors a space and another that complements it. For an elegant pairing, start with the Elegant Bloom Vase ($372.00) and layer in the Glazed Dots Vase ($372.00) for shine and rhythm. Or select the quiet confidence of the Undulating Vase ($275.00) and offset it with the graphic punctuation of the Black Droplets Vase ($405.00).

Collectors with a penchant for floral structure will find enduring delight in the rosette family—the Rosetta Vase ($437.00), Glossy Rosetta Vase ($307.00), and Rosetta Sphere ($469.00). Together, they create a sculptural still life that changes with light and season.

Those drawn to organic geometry will gravitate toward the wave forms: the Wavy Vase ($356.00), Layered Waves Bowl ($307.00), and Contrast Vase ($291.00). The group reads like a conversation between curve and countercurve, balance and tension.

Looking to buy Faustine Telleschi with instant impact? The Large Grey Corolla Vase ($969.00) is an heirloom acquisition, while the Ruffles Vase ($534.00) brings a lyrical crescendo to a room. For wall-based collectors, the Rosetta Mural ($566.00) makes a singular, celebratory statement.

However you begin, each piece you choose becomes a daily moment of encounter: the shadow of a rosette at sunrise, the cool skin of stoneware under your palm, the way a ripple catches late afternoon light. That is the true luxury of living with art—it invites you to be present.
