Black And White Vase ‘Monochrome’ by Thomas Petit

This “Monochrome” black and white vase is a unique greyscale design, inspired by the artist Thomas Petit’s own previous art glass series success story, the vibrant and radiant “Sea Shore” collection.
The root-like veins of black and the billowing waves of white really show off the artist’s love of abstract landscapes, in such an intricately sophisticated way, to bring you this smart finishing touch to your modern home.

This distinctive black and white vase brings a comforting but formal atmosphere, with its subtle yet alluring features. This hand-blown work of art will ignite inspiration with its ingenuity and virtuosity.

N.B. The images shown are an example of the ones in the series. Each piece is handmade and therefore there will be small variations in colour and pattern. Each one is completely unique and signed by the artist.

Black And White Vase Artist

Thomas Petit started out in the world of clay, before entering the field of glass art. At first unwilling to expand his knowledge, he then remembers a visit to a Dartington Crystal Factory to watch glassblowing as a child. This memory jolted his desire to broaden his horizons, and Thomas embarked on a glass-blowing course in Cornwall. Financial difficulty meant he was able to accept a three-year apprenticeship, and Petit eventually took up a voluntary position at The Glasshouse in Covent Garden. After various jobs and time spent in New Zealand. Thomas settled in Derbyshire, on the edge of the Peak District.

Feeling the stress of working a full-time job in 2015, and juggling it with his glassmaking meant Thomas was to make an important decision. By 2016, Thomas was concentrating solely on his glassblowing. Inspiration for his works comes from both everyday objects and experiences as well as from art and his own photography. Many of his best works have actually been happy accidents, he confesses. One of his latest ranges that continues to evolve his the ‘Sea Shore,’ inspiration coming from his childhood trips to East Sussex. All his pieces in this range are ground by hand, and sheen is restored by buffing when necessary after sandblasting.
