Woodfired Vase no. 8

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 slender vase is richly textured with flowing lines that move across the surface like topography or swirling water. The wood-fired surface brought out a deep amber-gold finish, breaking to soft greys at the neck where the ash settled. Sculptural and striking, it stands beautifully on its own or with a single dramatic stem.

Approximately 6.25" tall x 2.75" wide, .5” vase opening

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