GISELLE HICKS — SPECKLED INK EXCLUSIVE COLLECTION

In June 2024, we approached Giselle Hicks — an artist we've long admired — to create an exclusive ceramic collection for INK + PORCELAIN. From the moment the first prototypes arrived, our Vault Members fell in love. The collection sold out multiple times behind the scenes, captivating designers and stylists. Each pinched form, bearing the mark of Giselle's hands, celebrates a timeless craftsmanship that resonates with those seeking statement pieces that are both elevated and inviting.

Now, we're thrilled to bring the Giselle Hicks Collection to our entire community. These striking vessels come in Speckled INK or Warm White, perfect on their own or displayed together for a cohesive look. Each piece invites you to slow down and admire its hand formed contours and soft, opaque glaze — an ode to Giselle's 26 year devotion to clay and our shared commitment to Artful Objects Designed by Women.

Giselle Hicks is an artist based in Helena, Montana, and has worked in clay for 26 years. She hand pinches vessels inspired by sculpture, painting, and iconic forms in ceramic history — resulting in formal explorations of shape, volume, color, and composition. The slow, rhythmic forming process, which uses few tools, preserves the traces of her hands, celebrating the tactile imperfections and unique idiosyncrasies of handmade objects. The soft, opaque glaze further enhances this intimate, handcrafted quality, inviting both touch and contemplation.
