Sumi Vase with Blue Cranes

$140.00

This little bud vase is part of my experimentation with new clay bodies and decorating techniques. Here, I’ve used Brooklyn Red clay decorated with underglazes used like watercolors to depict a flock of storks circling the body of the vase. The interior and neck are glazed with black, while the body of the piece is left unglazed. Sumi-e is a Japanese technique on paper using very simple brush strokes to evoke varioius subjects. I’m playing with translating that to clay.

5” tall by 2.5” in diameter.
