Sumi Vase with Three Birds and Persimmons

$160.00

This little 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 three birds perched on the branch of a persimmon tree. 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 4” in diameter.
