Porcelain Pottery Jar with Koi Swimming in Water

A jar to hold things. An urn for a pet or if you are sharing a loved one's ashes. It holds 5.75 cups, or 46 ounces. This is quite a heavy piece. The lid fit is tight. 

I made this out of a white porcelain clay body. It is a pierced jar, decorated with green dragonflies and ferns transfer. I throw them on the potter's wheel, trim the bottoms with a foot ring so the bottoms are glazed as well. The exterior decoration is a transfer technique which is a silkscreening technique. The patterns are sealed permanently into the clay by the glazing process. A clear glaze is over the entire piece. Please appreciate the slight variations and imperfections that are the signs of hand made pottery. It is approximately 8.5" tall x 5" wide. Dishwasher/microwave safe. Signed "Sullivan, Canada" on the bottom. 

As with all porcelain pottery avoid dramatic temperature changes; no oven, do not freeze. Dishwasher, microwave safe. Please appreciate the slight imperfections that make hand made pottery so great.
