This limited collection wobble vase is a one of a kind piece created 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 wobble vase has an exposed bottom, where there was some smooth "flashing" (exposure to open flame) and textured interaction with ash - resulting in a beautiful rich copper variation on bottom and crackled bronze- grey on the top. This specific wobble vase shows a bit of a "brush stroke" affect of copper but is faint in comparison to the overall flashing.
Measuring about 9.75" long, 5" wide with an opening of 2.75", this wobble vase could hold flowers, or be a decorative piece for any table. Price includes a metal flower frog, for possibility.
