This vase actually was intended to be a pitcher but as I was collaring in the neck after bellying out the body, the piece began to collapse because the walls were too thin. So had to cut off the top. I was able to salvage the piece by creating this nice vase shape, The glazing was done by pouring some MD shino and blowing to get a thin layer and then dipping in pearl. Waxing the pearl/shino areas and then redipping in toffee. The interior is celadon. The celadon dripped out in one area around the rim - I like the contrast of this celadon with the toffee/pearl and pearl/shino. Some of the dk reddish/brown areas are unglazed bare clay which also add visual interest to the piece.
