Porcelain Pottery Vase with Green Lotus in Arabesque OVERSIZE
BIG AND HEAVY! A very successful piece. This is a classic chinese shaped vase decorated with green transfers of lotus flowers in an arabesque curl. I made this out of a white porcelain clay body. I threw it on the potter's wheel in two parts to achieve the scale. The exterior decoration is a transfer technique which is a silkscreening technique applied to raw clay. The patterns are sealed permanently into the clay by the glazing process. A clear glaze is over the entire piece, so yes, it is watertight. This pot is approximately 18" tall x 7" wide(with a 4" neck opening. Signed "Sullivan, Canada" on the bottom.
Please always fill the vase with tepid water to avoid condensation build up on the bottom to protect your furniture.
