SQUARED UP & ASSEMBLED

While I was in the groove of throwing some small pieces and squaring them up I got this bug to make a few slightly larger pieces and this composite vase was one of the pieces. Don't ask exactly how I got here but here are the facts, the base and neck were both thrown round and squared up and assembled together where I added a slab mouth and lugs to the form. My intention from the beginning was to make this form rather quickly so nothing was measured and the actual construction is not perfectly symmetrical by design which I think gives the piece the wonky and not fussed over feel that I was aiming for. Though I was interested in making a piece larger than a tokkuri, I kept my ambition in check and ended up with a vase 14" tall and once fired should end up just over a foot in height. I only made a couple squared forms this time around deciding to wait and see how they glazed before making more.
