CONTEMPORARY Blue and Green Crystalline Pottery Vase

Description

This vase was hand formed from slabs of clay in our studio. This shape is a nice contemporary addition to display anywhere in the home. It can be used as a vase, but looks great just on it's own as well. The vessel is made from porcelain and is crystalline glazed. Just like in nature, when all the conditions are perfect, these crystals will grow at about 2000 degrees F. As a result of this uncommon and eye-catching technique, no two pieces will ever be the same and can never be exactly duplicated again. It is a challenging process that results requires many steps to ensure the pieces will be fired successfully. The failure rate with this technique is rather high, however when it goes right the results are spectacular! This vase has a greenish tan background with blue crystals. All our works are fired to cone 11 or 12, so they are fully vitrified and will hold water. The crystals are permanent and will not fade or change over time. The bottom of this piece has been polished smooth using a diamond tools to prevent any scratching on wood surfaces. All our works are signed by a family artist - "MacMillan" This piece measures 11.5" tall by less than 3" wide. If you have any questions, please message us!
