Individually hand-thrown and 'sgraffito' carved vase.
 
I love to carve these vases, the landscape for my Leaping Hare changes with every turn and it feels as though anything is possible for him!
 
White Porcelain Stoneware clay - Black slip - Transparent stoneware glaze.
 
The illustration is carved, through a layer of black slip, to reveal the white clay surface beneath, using a method called 'sgraffito'. The style is reminiscent of linocut graphical work. Each vase is entirely unique and takes hours of carving but the finished vase has a beautiful, tactile, 'relief' surface.
 
Size: 103mm diameter x 110mm tall.
