Button Circle Bowl (for Keeping Small Things Safe) by Sascha Mallon

$48.00

* A unique artwork.

Button Circle Bowl (for Keeping Small Things Safe) by Sascha Mallon is a gentle, intimate vessel shaped by repetition, care, and play. Hand-built in ceramic, the bowl is ringed with small, button-like forms along its rim—each slightly different, as if gathered over time rather than arranged all at once. Warm terracotta, soft cream, and muted green details create a surface that feels both tactile and quietly animated.

Inside, simple line drawings rest at the base, offering a sense of companionship rather than decoration. Ideal for holding rings, incense ash, tea scoops, or treasured fragments, this small bowl transforms containment into an act of care. Like much of Mallon’s work, it operates somewhere between utility and storytelling—inviting touch, attention, and the pleasure of keeping things close.

Sascha Mallon is an Austria-born artist based in Beacon, New York, whose practice spans ceramics, drawing, installation, and textile techniques. Her work has been exhibited internationally across the United States, Europe, and Taiwan, with recent exhibitions at Austrian Cultural Forum New York (New York) and Kentler International Drawing Space (New York), where she created immersive installations combining wall painting and porcelain elements.

Rooted in fairy tales from her childhood—particularly the symbolic worlds of the Brothers Grimm and Hans Christian Andersen—Mallon’s work uses gentle, intimate forms to explore complex emotional and ethical states. Influenced by landscapes that hold both beauty and unease, her practice reflects care, vulnerability, and transformation. Alongside ceramics, she incorporates crochet and other craft traditions, connecting her work to slow, embodied knowledge. Her Buddhist practice further informs an ethic of interconnectedness, impermanence, and compassion, shaping works that are deeply personal yet resonant with shared human experience.
