Porcelain Pottery Vase with Black birds and grapes
An art deco shaped vase.
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 birds and grapes. The patterns are sealed permanently into the clay by the glazing process. A clear glaze is over the exterior of the piece, an olive green on the inside.
Please appreciate the slight variations and imperfections that are the signs of hand made pottery. This pot is approximately 7.75" tall x 4" wide. Signed "Sullivan, Canada" on the bottom.
