Ivory colored Coil Vase, Exposed Coil Vessel, Decorative Ceramic Handbuilt Vessel, Coiled Stoneware Pottery, Open Neck Cream Vase

This beautiful ivory colored coil vase is about 10 inches tall and 5 1/2 inches wide. It’s made with white clay and the exterior is finished with burnished cream Terra sigillata. It was then washed with oxides to create a smooth ivory-like surface that looks like scrimshaw. The interior is finished with a matching creamy white glaze that echos the exterior surface very nicely. The base is coiled and smoothed, then each individual pattern in the surface is created by rolling out a piece of clay and shaping it into the motif. The individual motifs are then placed randomly and filled around with more coils and shapes, and the inside smoothed together to lock it all in place. The overall shape gradually develops as each piece is added. Once the piece is completed (a process done over several days as the finished areas must dry slightly in order to support the next area constructed) it is allowed to dry very slowly. This piece had cream colored Terra sigillata applied and burnished before the first firing, then after the firing the exterior was washed with oxides and the interior glazed. A second firing to stoneware temperatures finishes off the piece.

Blue Exposed Coil Vase

This beautiful blue exposed coil vase is about 6 1/2 inches tall and 6 inches wide. The exterior is finished with burnished green and tan Terra sigillata with traces of blues then washed with oxides to create a stone-like smooth surface that invites the hand. The interior is finished with a deep greenish blue and a turquoise glaze. The base was coiled and smoothed, then each individual pattern in the surface was created by rolling out a piece of clay and shaping it into the motif. The individual motifs were then placed and filled around with more coiled and rolled shapes, and the inside smoothed together to lock it all in place. Once the piece was completed (a process done over several days as the finished areas had to dry slightly in order to support the next area constructed) it was allowed to dry very slowly. This piece had terra sigillata applied and burnished before the first firing, then after the firing the exterior was washed with oxides and the interior glazed. A second firing to stoneware temperatures finishes off the piece.
