"Travel Is Fatal To Prejudice, Bigotry, And Narrowmindedness, And Many Of Our People Need It Sorely On These Accounts. Broad, Wholesome, Charitable Views Of Men And Things Cannot Be Acquired By Vegetating In One Little Corner Of The Earth All One’S Lifetime." — Mark Twain

The Voyages Series explores the theme of travel, capturing its essence in each handmade ceramic jar. Through carefully crafted texts inscribed on their surfaces, these jars reflect on the different ways we journey — not only across physical landscapes but also through time, memories, and experiences. Some speak to the excitement of new discoveries, while others evoke the quiet, internal travels we take when we revisit cherished moments from the past. Each piece in the collection invites you to reflect on the importance of travel, whether it’s the movement of the body or the mind, and the lasting impressions these journeys leave behind. Jar 01 invites text from Mark Twain's "The Innocents Abroad" (1869).

This vessel is made from dark grey stoneware and is not watertight.

Lead-time is roughly 4 weeks.

About the Maker

Marie Martin Ceramics

French ceramicist, I now live in Valencia, Spain. I began learning ceramics in 2007 in Shenzhen, China. My first teacher didn’t speak English, he taught me the essentials silently, with his hands, until I finally speak enough Chinese. After eight years in Asia, I moved to San Francisco for three years, exploring materials, forms, and paths to personal expression. I became a full time ceramicist at that time. I have always written on my vessels with clay slip, but the tools I used at first were not allowing me to write long texts. In 2020 I developed a system that allows me to write longer texts with the desired texture, opening many creative possibilities.
