Endangered Series - Gold Lustre Salt Cellar

Features

Lustre

A metallic glaze that gives ceramics a shiny, reflective surface, applied over a fired glaze and then fired again at a lower temperature to fuse the lustre to the surface.

Illustrated

Hand-painting or drawing on the clay surface with underglazes or colored slips before the glazing process, showcasing artistic imagery or motifs.

Wheel Thrown

A pottery technique where clay is shaped into forms on a rotating potter's wheel, allowing for symmetrical and rounded shapes, often used for creating bowls, vases, and other vessels.

Thrown and Altered Vessel

This unique ceramic piece features a thrown vessel that has been intentionally altered, creating an intriguing interplay between form and function. The artist's skillful manipulation of the clay while on the wheel, followed by deliberate modifications, results in a striking and unconventional work that challenges traditional notions of ceramic vessels.

Double Walled

To create a double-walled vessel in pottery throwing, two clay walls are formed simultaneously on the wheel, with space between them. This technique allows for intricate, insulative, and aesthetically unique pieces.

Fully functional

This vessel has been glazed and fired to allow it to be used in domestic and commercial settings. It's waterproof and dishwasher safe.

Dipped glaze

These functional glazes provide smooth, even coatings, providing a consistent and professional finish. This technique ensures a flawless, glossy surface that enhances the beauty of the ceramics and can make the piece fully functional.
