DESCRIPTION
This moon jar, titled 'Small Stone II', is inspired by the ocean surroundings of Moira's home - like so many in her collections.
As the name implies, this art piece's smooth, rounded surface reflects the timeless beauty of a stone, worn smooth by the gentle, persistent caress of water over time. The marbled patterns and the soft hues of white and grey create a sense of calm, while the vessel’s intimate scale encourages closer inspection—much like picking up a small stone along the shore, its weight comforting in the palm of your hand.
The piece may be perfectly combined with either 'Small Stone I' or 'Wind on Tide', all part of a collection Moira made for House of QRA.
