The Barnacle Vase is a handcrafted porcelain piece inspired by nature’s organic forms. Its cylindrical shape, with a delicate torn opening reminiscent of a barnacle, balances vibrancy and fragility. The vase’s undulating design feels raw yet refined, reflecting the artist's intuitive, nature-driven approach to clay. Each piece is uniquely crafted, blending irregularity and elegance in a harmonious dialogue with the natural world.

Nathalee Paolinelli is a ceramic artist based in Vancouver British Columbia. She runs a studio in Strathcona where she is pushing the limits of what she thinks clay can be. She is self taught and is always experimenting and developing new techniques that suit her paper thin forms. Nathalee draws her inspiration from the essence of nature and captures life in each of her ceramic pieces. The ceramics transcend the spaces around them into organic coexistence.
