Ntololwane (2025) by Andile Dyalvane is a sculptural tour de force, merging glazed earthenware with hand-blown glass in a form that feels both ancestral and futurist. Drawing from Xhosa spirituality, land, and ritual, Dyalvane shapes clay as a vessel of memory and healing, infusing each piece with profound cultural resonance.

Globally recognised as one of the most significant ceramic voices of his generation, his works are held in leading institutions including the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the V&A Museum, and others worldwide. For collectors, Ntololwane represents not only a cultural artefact but an investment-grade collectible from a master.
