Description

Thrown as two separate forms and joined once both were leather-hard — the only way to get this silhouette, because a sphere this wide will not stand up on a narrow base while the clay is still soft.

The opening is 40 mm, deliberately narrow, so a single branch stands upright instead of sliding to the wall. Bare burnished clay outside, fully glazed inside so it holds water indefinitely. The unglazed surface will darken slightly where hands touch it. That is the material doing what it does.
