Sheiner Ceramics creates handcrafted semi-functional ceramic sculptures that reimagine the familiar.
Inspired by the graphic language of advertising, sports, and everyday American life, each piece transforms an ordinary object into something unexpected, equal parts fine art, design object, and functional ware. Every work is designed, hand-built, painted, and glazed by artist Jake Sheiner in
Los Angeles, making each one entirely unique
COLLECTIONS
MENORAHS
Available for Pre-order!
The smoothest way to celebrate Hanukkah. Each menorah takes the familiar form of a hard-pack cigarette box, reimagined as an oversized ceramic sculpture. For 357 days each year, it exists as sculpture; for the eight nights of Hanukkah, it serves as a fully functional menorah. The subversive menorah recommended by 4 out of 5 Rabbis.

TENNIS
The Penn Tennis Ball Vase s part of an new body of work by Los Angeles artist Jake Sheiner through Sheiner Ceramics. Drawing on one of tennis’s most recognizable forms, the work transforms the familiar, disposable tennis ball can into a singular ceramic object..
Each vase is cast in stoneware from an original mold, individually hand-painted with underglazes, and finished with a clear glaze. Rather than pursuing mechanical precision, each work embraces visible brushwork, subtle shifts in color, and variations in surface, allowing each piece to retain the evidence of the hand.
Conceived as a semi-functional ceramic sculpture, the vase draws on the visual language and aesthetics of tennis. The work plays with the line between utility and sculpture while celebrating the colors, graphics, and design that give tennis its distinct visual identity.
Every vase is produced in small batches and completed entirely by hand in Sheiner's Los Angeles studio. No two are exactly alike; variations in painting, glaze, and surface are inherent to the work and underscore its individuality.
