Spherical vase

This vase has a full-bodied spherical form with an enclosing neck at the top. It has been coated in a number of layers of white slip and crackle slip. The colour moves from soft browns and tans at the bottom of the vase, to a creamy white slip at the top. There are areas of ash glaze and fly ash. The clay is stoneware with feldspar chip inclusions. The pot was wheel thrown and was placed on sea shells and fired to 1,320°C in a woodfire kiln.
