Ancient Jasper Over Smokey Merlot over Obsidian by Olivia Hirsch

Obsidian, Smokey Merlot and Jasper Combo Tumbler

by Olivia Hirsch

This handcrafted ceramic tumbler showcases a striking layered glaze combination inspired by natural stone and deep, earthy tones. The base begins with a soft, light cream surface flecked with subtle speckles, creating a calm and grounded foundation.

Rising upward, the glaze transitions into a rich blend of Smokey Merlot and Obsidian, where deep black merges with purple-red hues for a dramatic, wine-dark finish. Accents of Ancient Jasper flow through the surface in organic stripes, introducing flashes of teal and green that gently drip downward and blend into the darker upper section.

Fired at cone 5–6, this tumbler balances depth, movement, and contrast, making each piece visually dynamic and completely unique. The result is a functional vessel that feels both ancient and modern—perfect for daily use or as a statement piece in a ceramic collection.
