Medium Vase #1

This rather sensuously shaped vase has a lovely flow to it, both in the shape and echoed in the fluid drippiness of the glaze.  It’s created from flecked clay and the dark speckles create even more interest in the glaze as they punch their way through the blue.

The piece is glazed in Blue Mist, one of my favourite glazes!  In the extreme heat of the kiln, this glaze flows as it melts, creating streaks, rivulets and flow lines.  Where it flows away, leaving only a thin layer it becomes transparent.  Where it’s thick, it’s a stunning baby blue with a mottling and occasional dark blue streaks in the colour that encourages you to look closer.  Where one layer flows over another it leaves a gorgeous tan tide line.  Can you tell it’s one of my favourites?!?!
