Oil Slick Planter on Red Clay (6.5 in / 16.5 cm tall) #13

Planter on Red Clay

6.5 x 5.5 inches (tall x wide),
16.5 x 14 cm (tall x wide)

This piece was thrown by me on a pottery wheel using a red clay.  After the initial bisque firing, I apply a pattern with thin detailing tape by hand over many (many) hours. Layers of a white glaze are brushed on the surface, the tape removed, another round of cleanup, and then the final firing to over 2,000 degrees F (1,090 C).  

This piece comes with the drip plate shown and there is a drainage hole in the bottom of the planter.
