Sake Set !




This is a model i tried throwing... a traditional Japanese sake set with the bottle and 2 tiny cups. Glazes are a sea green on a rustic brown, and with a noxema blue. Approx. height of the bottle: 6 inches tall/ 4 inches wide, and the little cups are 2 inches tall/ 2 inches wide. $20.

Large Vase


This piece is a large flower vase, perfect for those fresh cut flowers. One of my personal favorites in terms of the glaze choice: a clear all over with a tint of pale yellow, noxema blue on the rim, dripping elegantly down the outside of the piece. Approx. height: 6 inches, and 4.5 inches wide. $15.
*SOLD*

Flower Vase


This piece is a smaller style flower vase, with a deep blue glaze all over, with teal over the rim and a white dripping inside. Approx. height: 5 inches, and 4 inches wide. $10. *SOLD*

Small Cup


This small cup is glazed in a clear all over, with a floating blue covering the rim and dripping down the body. Made of cone 6 American white clay. Approx. height: 3 inches, and 3 inches wide.

Small Bowl


This small bowl is glazed in an elegant royal blue with a clear rim and greenish drip inside. One of my better looking bowls. Approx. height: 2.5 inches, and 4 inches wide. $7.

Strange Cup

This odd- looking cup was made with cone 6 American White clay, and glazed in a raspberry reddish color with blue and purple dabs here and there. Approx. height: 4.3 inches, and 3.5 inches wide. $10.

Black "Raku" Bottleneck

This raku style bottleneck is glazed gloss black all over and was made with cone 6 American white clay. Approx. height: 7in, and 4.5 inches wide. $10.
