Bee Ware Porcelain Pottery Vase 2
This is an elegant vase shape decorated with black bees. I made this out of a white porcelain clay body. I threw it on the potter's wheel, trimmed the bottom with a foot ring so the bottom is glazed as well. The exterior decoration is a transfer technique which is a silkscreening technique of black bees. The patterns are sealed permanently into the clay by the glazing process. A clear glaze is over the entire piece. A third firing seals 22Karat gold bees on to the surface. Please appreciate the slight variations and imperfections that are the signs of hand made pottery. This pot is approximately 7.25" tall x 4" wide(exterior measurement). Signed "Sullivan, Canada" on the bottom.
