This blue speckled ceramic vase was thrown on the wheel. It's angular shape makes it a fun vase for table arrangements. The opening at the neck is about three and a half inches wide, making it perfect for bold arrangements that still need to include a few thick stems. I love putting billy balls, bunny tails, or eucalyptus in this form. Wild bouquets contrast nicely with the angular design of the form.
It is glazed in a baby blue transparent glaze that when fired results in a thick glossy finish. Two areas on the outside are left bare to reveal the texture and color of the iron in the clay. The interior is fully glazed and watertight.
The vase you see in the photo is the one that ships. Everything in my shop is in stock and ready to ship. Each pot is unique, so I photograph each one individually.
All pottery is lovingly packed and double boxed, using 100% recyclable material. I've had great success with shipping pots far and wide, but please contact me if there are any issues.
The color and luminosity of this glaze is really difficult to capture in a photo. If you look very closely you can still see freckling of the iron from the clay body beneath. Stoneware reduction firings cause the iron to migrate out of the clay to seek oxygen during the firing. This glaze maintains a fairly consistent light and icy blue appearance in both natural and artificial light.
