Shino Vase

This wheel-thrown vase was made out of local Taiwanese clay and then a traditional Japanese shino glaze was applied. This vase was made in the wabi sabi spirit of beauty in the imperfection. I made this vase quite freely and with a degree of spontaneity. While wet I dusted wood ash, which resulted in its own glaze. I can see this vase sitting on a dinner table or on an office desk used to calm the senses. An interesting feature of the vase is that on the base, I stamped the map of Taiwan, my home for the past 21 years. Be the owner of a handmade vase, made on the beautiful island of Taiwan. #2 Detailed dimensions: Height: 14 cm Width of base: 9 cm
