Ceramics -- Rose Petal Vase

This "rose petal" vase was constructed using individually-formed wafers of clay that were pressed together into the desired shape.  We sometimes called this "potato chip construction".  The glaze is the ancient Japanese Tenmoku glaze.  It is known for having highlights wherever there are ridges in the clay.  I thought this vase turned out well so I will use this technique again.
