Cream and Pale Blue-Gray Glazed Studio Pottery Budvase with Long Neck expressionistic glaze and the wonderfully bold black

and the wonderfully bold black that follows the incised lines around wings

or else an assortment of trinkets collected on various travels

A single mushroom took about 15 days to complete from clay sculpture to final firing and each is a little work of art  avidly collected for their beauty as well as their botanical accuracy

The hand-painted design--really a drawing on clay--reminds me of a  map with shape-shifting land masses

stained a rich dark brown

Cream and Pale Blue-Gray Glazed Studio Pottery Budvase with Long Neck expressionistic glaze and the wonderfully bold blackAnother lovely bud vase! This one features a luscious cream glaze pooling over a variegated pale gray blue, with just a hint of purple; a terrific long neck, and an interesting rounded bottom. This would look fantastic holding one big white lily. A really charming vase with a wonderful, delicate presence. This piece does not appear to be signed on the bottom. It measures 6 3 4tall x 4" diameter; 2" across at lip with an opening of 1 2" across. Great
