Wonky Neck Bud Vase

Yes, this one is intentional!!  I was seeing how tall I could take the neck and then I got playful and gave it a gentle whack!  The result is something vaguely reminiscent of Dr Seuss in my head (but that might just be me!!).  The neck is quite wide for a bud vase but not big enough for a bunch.  You’ll also need a long stem if the bloom is to rise above the neck.  But I think it’s just great as it is – au natruale!

This piece is glazed in Aegean Turquoise. It’s a wonderfully flowy glaze that occasionally flows right off the piece!  As it flows it creates lovely rivulets in various shades of vibrant turquoise.  Where it leaves the glaze thin it’s transparent, whereas at the bottom of the flow it leave a thick drip which is rich and bright.  I love the way this works against a tan clay body as the combination is so reminiscent of warm blue seas lapping Sandy beaches on summer holidays!
