Each Deep Blue work is meticulously hand-formed by Solem, finished in a custom-mixed cobalt blue, and fired multiple times over a four-week process. The original collection comprises first-edition pieces, the largest expressions of the series, standing between 20-23 inches in height.
The second edition, available exclusively at Claude Home, introduces medium-scale works: a curated selection of vases measuring 16-18 inches, each realized in new forms distinct from the original release.
A three-piece limited collaboration between Solem Ceramics and Florida-based painter Papou. Each Deep Blue vase is hand-formed by Solem and individually painted by Papou, uniting sculptural form with expressive surface gesture.

The Character Series
The Character Series explores the individuality of ceramic form, positioning each piece as a distinct entity with its own presence, narrative, and physical idiosyncrasies.
Wearable Sculpture
Modelled after the Deep Blue series, each piece is hand sculpted by Anna Ugolkova- no two pieces are alike.
Raw Clay Collection
The timeless, ancient series that began Solem’s pottery journey– inspired by the grounding nature of pure earth, the texture and color of rock, and the shapes of traditional wares that our ancestors used.
