Lightly freckled pinched vessel
Pinched chalice-vase elevated on a narrow foot, in a shape that aspires upward and "expands". Made of lightly speckled stoneware clay, glazed matte white.
As with all my pinched work, each shape created is a wonderful surprise - without aiming at a certain shape, the clay's potential gradually reveals itself as it is being touched and pressed. This makes not just the vessel but even the shape one of a kind, with no guarantee that it will ever reoccur.
I find that pinched vessels fit wonderfully next to paintings, beloved textiles and generally in personally important spots of your home. They bring a handmade quality of close attention, and a testimony for the time spent making them, in repeated rhythmic touch. Although only glazed white, pinched vessels often seem decorated, because the pattern of fingerprints creates a rich surface that stands out in natural light.
Hand wash.
