Portal is a functional sculpture hailing from the brand Ila Ceramica, a long time favourite of By Madre's. Both beautiful and useful, it was designed to double as a candle holder, or vase. It will make an impact in any location of your home, whether to illuminate a table-scape, or style a minimal floral arrangement. The design studio is led by Camila Apez, who through ceramics, primarily but not exclusively through manual construction, she seeks to investigate the intersection and collaboration with the natural world, while recovering and exalting ancestral feminine archetypes, the functional aspect of the pieces, as well as their relationship with space and the human body, resulting in objects that have utilitarian possibilities while maintaining a sculptural touch.

Available in three colorways. Like with any hand-made object, variations in color and shape may occur and do so from burn to burn. No two objects are exactly the same.
