During a creative collaboration with Maison Liaigre, ceramic artist Karen Swami gave life to the “Rouge” collection — an exclusive series of red designer ceramic vases that blend artistic craftsmanship with contemporary design.

This collection stands out through its striking glossy red glaze, applied to deep black earthenware clay, creating a bold visual contrast that immediately captures attention.

The development of this red designer ceramic vase collection was the result of extensive research into the physical behavior of molten ceramic glazes. Karen Swami delved into the fascinating reactions that occur during the high-temperature firing process. Some glazes melt more than others, producing subtle to dramatic drips that form at the base of the piece. Rather than seeing these as imperfections, the artist embraced them, transforming each drop into a deliberate, expressive feature.

This unique approach highlights the raw, organic nature of ceramics, where every piece is a one-of-a-kind creation shaped by fire. The vases are not static decorative objects — they are living works of art, bearing the marks of their own transformation. Their shimmering red finish, fluid contours, and natural drips echo the unpredictable beauty of molten materials shaped by heat and time.

Each red designer ceramic vase from the “Rouge” collection embodies the fusion of controlled technique and natural spontaneity. It is both a sculptural object and a tribute to the elemental power of ceramics. Perfect for collectors, interior designers, or design lovers seeking a bold, artisanal statement piece, Karen Swami’s “Rouge” series redefines contemporary ceramic art.
