LEFT OVERS II

Illustrated is another pot that I fired a short while ago with the intention of getting a variety of left overs and odds and ends finished. This abstrakt resist trumpet vase is a rather interesting piece in that this pot is probably the longest anything has ever hung around without being fired or eventually broken up. I believe this pot is about 2 or 3 years old and was made as a group of very similar vases in a series thrown in two pieces and assembled, this was then put up on the top shelf and just never made it in to a bisque or beyond because of its height. At some point I put a small plastic bag over it and there it sat until December of 2020 where it was finished off with all the other pots that just accumulated from poor kiln space management. So the short version of this tale is that it is finished, fired without any problems and will likely now go back on a shelf until it is needed, I guess that means it has come full circle.
