This agate ware vase is made from porcelain and was hand thrown by me. Agate ware is made by incorporating a small amount of mason stains (a ceramic colorant) into the larger amount of clay being used to create a piece. By carefully adding the colored clay into the main piece and not mixing it in too much, it is subject to wonderful and unique pattern making as it goes through the wheel-throwing process. The centrifugal force of the wheel spins and places the colors incorporated pigments in a unique and unrepeatable pattern. The results are absolutely singular and have the appearance of sedimentary rock.
This vase is water-tight and functional.
*Please note, this vase is a second meaning it has slight imperfections. It slightly stuck to the kiln on the very bottom (see last photo) and has oblong shoulders.
Measures 7” x 4.5'“
