Low Spherical Saturn Vase
$325.00
Sold Out
This low spherical piece has an astounding textural depth to it with its various shades of iron-red orbiting around this vase and intersecting with swaths of raised glaze. The dark red and purple in this piece was created with raw iron oxide mixed with water to thin it out, which left behind a smooth iron finish. Above that detailing I applied a coat of glaze that is formulated to crack and, in conjunction with the iron oxide, it interacted wonderfully as it introduced a new bright brown tone in parts and a thick textured white crackled effect in others. This piece is both functional and decorative and would serve well as a statement piece! The raised cracking bits of glaze are subject to fall off of the piece if bumped but the raised texture that remains flat on the vase are much stronger.
• Height: 5"
• Diameter: 10”
• Water tight, functional vase
• $325, free shipping
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, to ensure that packages arrive to you safely I take great care in packing up my items to send. I use paper-packing materials are all 100% recyclable and I reuse post-consumer packing materials whenever I can!
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
