Porcelain Pottery Vase with Dragonflies in Green and 22K GOLD
This is a basic pedestal vase shape decorated with green AND Gold dragonflies. 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 green dragonflies. The patterns are sealed permanently into the clay by the glazing process. A clear glaze is over the entire piece. After the 2nd glaze firing I applied the gold transfer of the dragonflies and fired it for a third firing: magic! Please appreciate the slight variations and imperfections that are the signs of hand made pottery. This vase is approximately 9.75" tall x 5" wide(exterior measurement). Signed "Sullivan, Canada" on the bottom.
