Woodfired Vase no. 6

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 vase has a quiet shimmer, with a bronzy brown surface that shifts in the light—hinting at green along the carved stems and berries. The glaze pools and breaks across every texture, giving depth to the decoration and a softness to the shine. Finished with a wavy rim and a scalloped foot for just a little extra movement.

Approximately 4.25" 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.
