This beautiful delicate porcelain vase was hand thrown on the potters wheel, then dried to the leather hard stage, before the top was modelled by hand to add to the individuality of the finished piece. Once the vase was completely dry a red slip was applied before the first firing. The crystalline glaze was brushed onto the vase by hand then glaze fired to very temperatures so the natural crystals could form in the surface of the glaze. The steel blue crystals you can see are a natural phenomena produced by the glaze recipe and firing schedule. The result is an entirely unique ceramic creation which although small ( 6 inches tall by 5.5 inches wide) stands on its own as a piece of art and a fantastic example of this rare type of ceramics. Thank you for reading.
