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.
This vase was thrown on the wheel, a coiled top was pinched and added, the surface was scored and incised using a bamboo tool and then the whole surface was paddled. The glaze is Million Dollar Yellow brushed over Utah Red. It is 4 inches x 4 inches.
