Blue Series – Turquoise Pear

Description

One of the Blue Series Pear shaped bottles. This series grew out of a challenge set at the beginning of the COVID lockdown to produce a piece of art (any art) from 75g of material.  I got to work and made 8 small Pear shaped bottles and decided to glaze them in the blue glazes I have on my glaze shelves.  The pears are all made of 75g of White St Thomas clay, but are all different – some stand at a cheeky angle, others have larger bottoms.  They can all be described as ‘Cute’ !

The turquoise crackle glaze has been accentuated with ink to show the crackle.

Stands approx 9cm tall with a lovely rounded lower half.  Please note the pear is not glazed inside so isn’t waterproof
