Ceramics -- Pharaoh's Vase

This vase (or bowl) was built using slab construction.  The clay was Little John which tends to crack on the edges.  This gives the work a lot of interest and excitement.  The glaze is Utah Red over Zeller White.  The white glaze causes the red to shift to a greenish color and have rust-colored highlights wherever there are edges, cracks or indentations.  I especially love the random splotches of red that come through.  The vase is 6 inches high and 6 1/2 inches in diameter.
