SILO

Not much to say about this Oribe style covered jar with B.C. (johnny Hart) or Prometheus inspired finial with combed white over black slip. The form is loosely based on old storage building from Africa, looking a bit like a grain bin or silo and have three feet cut from the base. Considering that I really enjoy making lidded pots from cannisters, covered jars, cap jars all the way to covered boxes, this ongoing series of box forms, many resting on three or four feet are not likely to disappear anytime soon but I am thinking that soda blue and amber glazes may add a touch of diversity to the pieces. Perhaps next time (?).
