This classic vase carries itself boldly entirely alone, yet she becomes a stunning backdrop to fresh flowers. Each line is sculpted one at a time with my hand tools. My goal is to have one solid piece of beauty that fools the eye into thinking many pieces were required to make this one vase. I throw each piece of artwork on the potters’ wheel, leaving behind my finger lines inside. The outside of the vase is smoothed and then carefully sculpted to create a trompe l'oeil illusion. I can't tell you how many times people think this is tiny petals added to this structure. I get a kick out that, because I know what I intended did occur. Not to fool people, but to give the owner of this vase a special treat. You will also own a wonderful tactile texture. I wish you could feel it in this website, smooth, ridged, glassy, rough all at once.
