IMPASTO JAR

 A few firings back I made several covered jars in the style of this illustrated one. They vary a bit in overall dimensions, taller or wider proportions but they were all decorated in a coating of impasto style slip and either Oribe, Kuro-Oribe or saffron yellow glaze surface. This particular covered jar is Oribe over an impasto slip with just a hint of iron over the surface and to complete the jar, all of these had two lids made for each to provide an option for the new owner. Though the lids are almost identical it is the knobs that differ, one is the St. Louis Arch style and the other the time-machine Gumby style which originates from an idea from the old TIME TUNNEL TV show of the 1960s, have to take your inspiration from where ever it springs. These jars are not too large, fit just about anywhere from countertop to book shelf and are built for use even if that use is sitting on a shelf and collecting a bit of dust now and again.
