Moth Bowl


A bit of pure slipware for today, this very small bowl is entirely slip-trailed and jeweled in white under a transparent glaze. The moth is the Mervielle du Jour.

Your work is so beautiful. I'm not a potterer (just love the stuff) so don't have the words...but your work has an elegant depth that blends light and color. Lovely! I've spent the last 15 minutes scrolling through your previous posts, each photo a treasure.

Thank you Kittie, I have not been ultra productive of late in the workshop because I am working on two big pieces but it is nice to put out a little one now and then and I do so love moths.

That is positively mouth watering. Very fresh and lively.

That's one of my favourites of all your pieces - just lovely. It gives an impression of the images being 'sewn' onto fabric rather like applique.

I am thinking of doing this [moths] on the big jar with the wings below and building out the moths from the surface. Big job though, about a month of painting and modeling.
