Woodfired Vase no. 4

These one-of-a-kind vases are an ongoing exploration of some of my favorite past motifs. The woodfiring process has brought them to life with its own unique magic, creating surfaces and textures that are delightful and varied.
No two are alike. They stand easily on their own or with a few stems, adding a quiet kind of presence to a shelf, table, or windowsill.

This piece has a flowing, ribbon-like pattern around the base, brought to life by the wood kiln’s warm flashing and ash deposits. The softly undulating rim and carved foot add a quiet elegance, while the surface holds subtle movement and texture from every angle.

Approximately 4.75" tall x 3.25" wide

Individually handmade on the potters wheel, hand decorated in our Boonsboro, MD studio, then lovingly wood-fired at Sherman Ceramics in Wolfsville, MD.
