This limited collection envelope vase is a one of a kind piece created with wild clay in a wood fire kiln.
During the firing process, we continually add wood to the (outdoor) kiln to increase its temperature - This causes a natural fluctuation in temperature, reminiscent of waves, as the wood releases gases that burn off and circulate throughout the kiln. These gases, ash and open flame create texture and color on each piece that is entirely dependent to where it is in the kiln and what other pieces were surrounding it.
This piece has a beautiful copper color body with some smooth "flashing" (exposure to open flame) to give some depth to the color and crackle along the top. It also has an exposed heart and bottom to show the original color of the clay body, a purple-metallic.
Measuring 5.5" tall, 3.75" wide and 8.5" long
