WHAT'S IN THE BOX III

I made a couple of these covered boxes recently and glazed both in the surface I refer to as Kuro-Oribe whether it is accurate or not. Both are rather simple forms, roughly the same dimensions but each a slightly different form and with different knobs or finials. The covered box form illustrated has a rather dome like structure and rests on four feet, the surface is a graded version of the Kuro-Oribe and the lid is fitted with a cornucopia style handle that functions perfectly and hopefully compliments the volume and idea of the overall pot. I think that all in all the sunlit pictures shows off the actual surface rather well with areas of green showing through the slightly darker surface as well as the clay texture where rib met clay and left marks around the pot. I like making smaller, intimate pots that hopefully see some use beyond sitting up on display, though functional or not, a hand made pot up on a shelf is not such a bad thing after all.
