Woodfired Vase no. 5

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.

Textured blooms rise up the surface of this vase like dandelions just on the edge of letting go - soft, simple, full of quiet energy and potential. The wood firing swept warm golden hues across the surface, while the wavy rim and carved foot finish it with a playful touch.

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.
