Ceramic wine ware-inspired vase

This ceramic object was made with chamotte using the slab building technique, fired at 1,150°C. The shape consists of a round body and four adjunct open-top tubes covered with dark brown glaze. Being part of a collection of other vases of a similar style made using the same technique, the object is inspired by the ancient Georgian tradition of ceramic wine ware, in which one vessel often combines many small inter-connected parts, and was used as a shared drinking vessel during feasts.
