Island Vase

$90.00
Sold Out
This vase holds the weathered colors of an object steeped in the ocean for a long period of time. Its greens gradate from a light speckled tone down to a deeper teal. Toward the base of this piece some of the throwing rings can be seen which, under the cool blanket of green, almost appear to move like ocean waves.

There are two spots on this piece where the natural red clay body was left unglazed and exposed, which is reminiscent of time spent on the open water when land is scant and occasionally a sliver of it appears in the distance.

This vessel is very light for its size and it would work wonderfully for functional use as a flower vase or to stand alone as a decorative piece.

This piece is glazed both inside and outside and is completely food safe!

As the environment is a large portion of the inspiration in my work, it is also on the forefront of my mind when considering shipping, which is why I make sure to use 100% recyclable materials. The packing tape is water activated, which creates a permanent seal to the box and helps reduce the amount of tape I use (and since the tape is 100% recyclable/biodegradable, it can be recycled with the box itself!). I use a thermal printer to print out my shipping labels (using no ink cartridges) and the backing of the labels are also recyclable. Lastly, although I double-box my items (when necessary) to ensure they arrive to you safely, the boxes and paper-packing materials are 100% recyclable!

Along with the wonderfully grounding feeling of experiencing a handmade object, I feel that it is also my responsibility as an artist and a maker to provide you with piece of mind into the steps I've taken to reduce the amount of waste produced from my shop. The Earth provides us with marvel and beauty and I believe that through measures such as these, we get a little bit closer to experiencing our own personal fifth season.

Thank you very much for having a look at this unique piece!

If you have any questions please feel free to reach out to me.

Warmly,
Doug
