Blue Zinnia/Hydrangea Floral vase: white stoneware clay, assembled from wheelthrown and handbuilt parts. Original design drawn on pot and painted with underglaze, with a slip-trailed flower and leaf design with hand carved details (mishima technique).
The slip trailing is a slightly raised design that gives this piece a tactile sensation, it's so nice to hold!
This design was inspired by the zinnia flowers I plant by my mailbox every summer. I look forward to their big, softball sized colorful blooms and started drawing them a lot over this past winter. Putting them on handmade mug designs means they can be enjoyed all year long :)
This piece is approximately 4” tall x 3.5” wide x 5.75” deep. It works beautifully as a vase/centerpiece, or fill with sharp pencils to brighten up your office desk.
The felt floral bouquet (made by @leaphboutique on instagram) is not included. I love these handmade flowers and think these pieces compliment each other so nicely!
Glaze is food safe, ok to use in microwave or dishwasher. But to protect and maintain finish and surface decoration, hand washing is best.
If you are in the Binghamton NY area and would like to arrange a local pickup, please mention that in the messages to seller and I will refund your shipping cost. Thanks!
This work is part of my July 2025 Exhibition "A Joyful Conversation in Color & Clay" and will be shipped immediately following the close of the show, by August 8, 2025.
