Pink Terracotta Vase (large)

Description

Handmade using white or terracotta earthenware clay, decorated with coloured engobe slips and oxides and finished using a glossy glaze. For purely decorative pieces areas may be left unglazed and finished with a wax. I work in small batches mixing the colours as I go, therefore sets may vary slightly.

I rolled out a slab of clay, cut out the body and base using a card template and made the form. To decorate I used a variety of coloured slips loosely painted on with textured marks and effects. The shape is organic with a wide mouth. Perfect for those larger blooms and foliage.
