The hierophant is traditionally defined as the interpreter of sacred mystery. Who is the one that spins the tale, that asks questions with rhythm and rhyme? Light pours out of the vessel’s mouth, illuminating words as light waves.
Hierophant is made from high-fire porcelain. The main vessel pieces are wheel-thrown then sculpted with details on top. Once done, the piece is slowly dried and then fired for the first time. It is then glazed and fired once more to reach its fully vitrified state. Selective details are then adorned with precious 22 karat gold and luster fired. If a lamp, electrical is then threaded through and assembled.
