Ben & Aja Blanc’s Jug No. 1, crafted in ceramic stoneware with glaze and waxed linen, reflects the duo’s distinctive blend of stark modernity and handcrafted technique. Defined by its double-sided openings, the vessel subtly disrupts expectation, inviting interaction from multiple angles while maintaining a balanced, sculptural silhouette. Decorative waxed linen is wrapped around the neck, introducing warmth and tactile contrast against the ceramic surface, while unglazed stoneware stripes toward the base create a grounded, textural counterpoint to the glazed body above.
