Porcelain Pottery Vase with Koi in Waves
A new vase shape that harkens to the 1960's. This is a heavy vase on the bottom, allowing tall floral displays or maybe utensils. 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 in black of koi fish swimming in water. The patterns are sealed permanently into the clay by the glazing process. A clear glaze is over the exterior, the interior is a lovely soft denim blue glaze. Please appreciate the slight variations and imperfections that are the signs of hand made pottery. This pot is approximately 6.5" tall x 4.5" wide(exterior measurement). Signed "Sullivan, Canada" on the bottom.
