Tall 18.5" Sea Green Vase
$300.00
Sold Out
This vase oscillates between warm and cool tones of aquatic greens and browns and has a unique way of enveloping the eye as its contours are traced. It boasts a tapered neck with high and wide shoulders, which all slim gradually downward to a delicate foot. The glaze has also combined really wonderfully with the throwing rings left over from the making process-- if looked at from the side in supporting light the piece switches between a brown and green tone repeatedly, almost like looking at a vertical-verdant sunset.
The clay body that this piece is made out of has a high porosity, which grants the outside of this piece to have that unique dotted texture (see close up photos). Additionally, due to the high porosity, this clay allows water to pass through the bottom of it if left inside for over 15-20 minutes so it is best suited as a decorative piece.
This vase has a fairly weight to it. When placed down it takes a second or two for the foot to settle completely flat onto the surface. If used as a decorative piece placing something in it to weigh it down could be helpful for stabilization.
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!
