Watercolour vase

This vase is hand raised from an extremely thick piece of metal, meaning that the outside and inside profile do not match each other and consequently the vase is very heavy, weighing 802g. Inside, the vase is decorated with a watercolour pattern in yellow, green and fine gold using an adaptation of the Korean technique Keum Boo. The exposed silver has been oxidised using a sulphuric solution in order to create a black exterior.
