This is a little hand thrown Vase carved with a stylized foliage pattern. The design is in a translucent gloss finish to contrast with the matte finish of the background glaze. As with all my pieces the pattern is carved freehand to fit the item so can never be exactly duplicated. All my pieces are created individually by me in my home studio. I work in stoneware, so items are pretty tough, food & dishwasher safe.
