Slip casted in Limoges porcelain

Crafted as a unique, one-of-a-kind vessel for oil, the Porcelain PJ Bottle combines artisanal craftsmanship with functional elegance. Its intentionally uneven surface emphasizes the handmade quality, celebrating imperfection as part of its charm. Created especially for people who love to cook, the “chef of chefs,” or a distinguished restaurant, this piece brings both practicality and artistry to the table.

To complete the object, a fitting top (suspender) will be delivered alongside, ensuring both form and function are perfectly balanced.

Anna Riess is a multidisciplinary artist and cultural anthropologist based in Vienna. Her work explores themes of embodiment, emotion, and interbodily relations through materials like clay, metal, and textiles. Deeply influenced by her experience of motherhood, she transforms everyday objects into symbolic forms - one of her gestures she describes as the “nippelization of the everyday.”

Riess is the co-founder of the Clayground retreat and the creator of Circle of Clay, a workshop series she has led at institutions such as the Museum of Applied Arts in Vienna or the Hotel Kai36 in Graz. Her workshops invite participants—regardless of prior experience—to develop their own sculptural language through hands-on engagement with clay.

Her sculptural objects possess a strong visual identity and tactile presence, marked by a recognizable aesthetic and a willingness to push the boundaries of material behavior. Especially drawn to the tactility of clay, Riess explores how movement and fluidity can be captured in form—leaving the trace of the hand visible in its hardened state. With a strong interest in local materials and interdisciplinary exchange, her practice bridges artistic, social, and ecological concerns in both conceptual and applied ways.
