Faceted vase

Made from a Red stoneware clay, this piece has been thrown on a potter's wheel. Using the technique of faceting, the pot has been cut into an eight-sided cylinder before being shaped from the inside, causing the facets to twist. Finally, the piece has been cut horizontally and twisted to separate the pot into to distinct sections. The piece is lightly glazed in a wood ash to give the red clay body a sheen.
