Illustrated is a large porcelain covered jar by
NC potter, Tom Turner. The pot has a tremendous volume and has all of the
trademark attributes he is known for including the double dipped ash glaze
pattern. The pot sits on a shelf about two feet off the ground and when the sun
is actually shining in our neck of the woods, it takes full advantage of the
addition of nature, basking in the sunlight. The way the light works in the
room and on the shelves creates an infinite variety of ways to see the pot and
the interplay of sunlight and shadow add both animation and emotion to the piece.
It is a great pot and given the environment, it always has something different
to say.
"Nothing's beautiful from every point of
view." Quintus Horatius Flaccus
