Handmade hydrostone vessel — a boldly architectural square open planter with a sculpted diagonal staircase relief, hand-cast and finished by artist Lesley Mitchell, founder of Renascent and Soul Light Emporium.

Named Elevation, this commanding piece draws its design language from ancient sacred architecture — a diagonal flight of finely ridged steps carved into one corner, descending from a ribbed rim to a stepped lower platform. Clean flat walls on three sides give way to this single dramatic detail, creating a piece that is both resolutely modern and quietly timeless. Photographed from four angles to show the full architectural form from every perspective.

Cast from hydrostone — a premium, high-strength gypsum casting medium — the substantial weight and smooth matte finish give this piece the presence of something far more permanent than its surroundings. Lightly sealed inside and out for added durability and a refined, smooth-to-touch surface.

Use it as:

• Indoor succulent, cactus, or air plant planter
• Crystal or gemstone display vessel
• Desk organiser — pens, brushes, stationery, scissors
• Altar centrepiece or sacred space feature
• Tea light or pillar candle holder (never leave unattended)
• Dried floral or botanical stem display
• Trinket, jewellery, or offering dish
