A study in glaze alchemy. This hand-thrown vessel evokes the quiet power of tidal waters meeting stone — a softly rounded silhouette carrying cascading layers of texture and color that ripple across the surface like sunlight through deep water.It was wheel-thrown in my Portland studio from Pioneer Dark stoneware, then hand-carved in vertical bands where a Cerulean Satin base — a deep blue from Coyote Clay — meets Nimbus, a Mayco glaze, layered over the carving. Where the two glazes cross that texture, they bloom into something closer to frost than glaze: indigo, slate, blush, and moss moving across the body in a slow, oceanic gradient, with flecks of mineral-like shimmer catching the light differently depending on the angle.
Fully glazed inside and out. Given the textured surface and the glaze combination, I’d treat this one as sculptural first — a striking planter or centerpiece bowl rather than a piece for direct food contact.
One of a kind. This particular alchemy of glaze and carving exists only once.
