Enhance your garden or outdoor space with this stunning, handcrafted ceramic totem—a perfect fusion of Australian ceramic art and nature-inspired design. This unique ceramic sculpture features six intricately detailed pieces adorned with botanic depictions of banksia flowers and seed pods, dusty pink blossoms, and dark green leaves, all set against a soft, sand-coloured glaze. The totem’s slightly conical form is a beautiful addition to garden beds, atriums, or as a striking focal point in balconies and courtyards.

Each ceramic piece is thoughtfully handcrafted, showcasing fine mosaic inlays, some of which are iridescent, creating a captivating play of light. These one-of-a-kind ceramics are supported by an internal structure, allowing the sculpture to be securely installed into the ground or on a terrazzo-style base for versatile use in smaller outdoor settings.

Created by an Australian artist, this totem embodies modern ceramic art, blending natural beauty with contemporary ceramics to create an exquisite and lasting statement for your garden. Whether you’re curating an expansive garden or looking to make a bold statement on a balcony, this piece offers both elegance and craftsmanship in Australian ceramic sculptures.

 

As the individual pieces are assembled together on an internal support, transport and installation care must be given. Please contact us to discuss transporting this unique piece to your space.
