Tall Bud Vase

THE MAKING

This elegant Tall Bud Vase begins its journey on the potter's wheel, where skilled hands shape B-Mix 5 clay into a graceful form that will eventually shrink by 12.5% during the firing process. The piece is carefully thrown to achieve the classic proportions of a narrow neck rising from a stable, wider base—a timeless silhouette that perfectly cradles a single stem or small bouquet. At 3 centimeters in diameter and 9 centimeters tall in its current wet state, this intimate vessel showcases the potter's attention to both form and function. The throwing stage has been thoughtfully documented through seven progress photographs, capturing the transformation from raw clay to refined vessel. With inspiration drawn from ocean-blue tones, this piece awaits its glazing stage, where it will receive the finishing touches that will bring the maker's coastal vision to life.
