An Ancient Glow

Small, handcrafted porcelain objects, created using a casting process, are glazed with an iridescent Arabic luster produced using precious metals. Through intensive research and masterful command of this ancient Middle Eastern technique, Caspi’s sculptural objects bridge the aesthetics of antiquity, Arabic lustre techniques, and visionary environments of the future.
