Production Notes - This is probably one of the most unusual and elegant vases I have ever made. It was an experiment gone right! It touts one of my favorite blue crystal bubble glazes but it is the shape that is so amazing. It is a whopping 9.5" wide and 7.5" tall, but the thin oval is so elegant. It has a wonderful little cup at the top, just right to hold a few beautiful buds. You will not find this in any production replication, it truly is a one of a kind.
Note - I priced this at $85.00+ but there is a small glaze blemish that is on the inside of the oval. You can see it on the right side of photo #3 above. For this reason I have taken just over 35% off - It is yours at a considerable discount for $55.00 with free shipping.
Items I create are hand-thrown pottery from clay on a wheel in my studio or occasionally hand-formed flat pieces. All are original and one-of-a-kind as there are no production runs of this work. Nor are the pieces dipped in glaze - they are all hand painted with multiple coats to achieve a rich dimensional glaze look.
My Vases and Bowls are fired TWICE in a kiln, the first firing is a bisque fire where I apply an underglaze color by hand - typically three coats of color so there is layer of background color on every piece. After that firing, I then create the intricate designs, carving, adornments or embellishments with slip, special tape and/or dots to create the modern contemporary look of my pottery. After the design phase, three more coats of glaze color are hand painted on. When dry, I give the bottoms a distinctive red coat. At this time, I return to the kiln to fire the finished piece to a wonderful lead-free gloss finish that is dishwasher and oven safe.
The process is highly laborious, but I love the simple, whimsical and unique look of every piece. I am constantly experimenting with color combinations, design concepts and ultimately the actual use of these pieces for my friends and customers. I hope you enjoy the pieces for many years to come and I look forward to your feedback on my work.
