Atelier Korhonen, Helsinki
Korhonen has thrown vessels for fourteen years out of a converted forester's cottage outside Helsinki. The clay is sourced within forty kilometres; the glaze is an ash-and-feldspar mix that varies, slightly, with each kiln.
Édition Quattro is twenty-four vessels — twelve in a deep storm-grey, twelve in an oat-pale white. Each is signed and numbered on the foot. None of them are identical, and that is the point.
Every edition follows the same four-step process. The cadence is unhurried by design — we'd rather skip a season than ship a piece we don't believe in.
Atelier-by-atelier, in person. No catalogues, no agents. The editor travels with one camera and a notebook.
Fewer than half of what we see makes the index. The bar is whether we'd live with it ourselves, for a long time.
Same studio, every season. Daylight. Linen backgrounds. No retouching past dust removal.
By request, not auction. Members are matched first. Anything unallocated returns to the maker, never discounted.
"I've subscribed to a few editions over the years. Maison Verre is the only one that feels like opening a quietly designed room — every piece has been edited as much as it has been chosen."
Members and patrons are reviewed first; visitors are reviewed last, and only when pieces remain. Every membership renews on 1 May.
