Mixed Media Mari

Posted on 21:00 by Ashish Chaturvedi
From Upsala Ekeby, comes this large red clay vase of many textures. Created in the 50's by Mari Simmulson, the top is a chocolate brown, high-gloss glaze, the middle section is speckled like cork and carved to create a fluting that reveals the true brick color of the natural material, and at the very bottom...an unexpected pop of white.
16" tall
