This vase was thrown on the wheel in buff stoneware clay. Once leather hard and trimmed, a vintage green slip background is applied before layering with other coloured slips to create the climbing rose design. Areas are then carved away to add detail to the *sgraffito design. The piece has been glazed with clear gloss to preserve the carving and colour.
The piece measures: Height-12cm bottom-6cm, opening 6cm
Each piece is made with the utmost care and attention to detail. Taking inspiration from nature, my forms often feature organic curves or waves akin to the edge of a leaf or petal. The vase is water resistant. I recommend hand washing ceramic items for prolonged life and best care.
*Sgraffito pottery is a traditional decorating technique that involves scratching through layers of coloured slip to reveal the natural clay beneath. The term "sgraffito" comes from the Italian word "sgraffiare," meaning "to scratch." This technique creates high-contrast designs and is often used on both functional pottery and decorative pieces.
