This tall porcelain vase was thrown in two separate sections and carefully joined to create its full height. The two parts dried at different rates, adding another layer of complexity to the carving and requiring careful attention as the form changed throughout the process. The result is a tall, sculptural piece where the carved surface and elongated form work together.
The surface is finished with a snowflake glaze that cracks as it cools from the extreme heat of the kiln, creating a layered, dimensional surface that changes with the light. This is a one-of-a-kind sculptural piece, made as much to be viewed as to be held. This piece is not food safe.
