Illustrated is one of the
two thrown and altered flower blocks that I made a while back in a sort of beat
the clock moment. This vase was thickly slipped and combed and then glazed in
my Oribe while the other piece was finished in the Ao+, both were both were
slipped and glazed to accentuate the squared form by combing at an angle toward
the line of the corners and to avoid them sticking to the kiln shelves they
were fired on wads. The texture works well for these transparent and flowing
glazes with the highpoints having a brightness to them and the lower areas
creating various tones of color and deep rich pools of green. The forms,
decoration and glazing were all pretty simple but the pieces have a certain
degree of complexity to them and I am sure they look eminently more interesting
with a nice floral arrangement in them.

toward the pebbled shore, so do our minutes hasten to their end." Wm.
