Hairpin vessel, in black stoneware with black velvet smoke finish, No.1

This hand build, coiled, hairpin vessel can be used as a vase for dried flowers or branches only or a stand alone sculpture, because it is made with sculptural clay and will not hold water.  The exterior is raw stoneware clay that has been smoke fired with a textural finish, and the inside is un-glazed.  It's approximately 11 inches tall and 8.5 inches thick at it's widest.  I do my best to find and reuse as many shipping materials as I can in my community to insure that your item arrives safely and with as little newly purchased plastic as possible. (please note the sculptural clay is too porous to hold water)
