#01 Tall Vase
US$54.23
A tall slender smoked fired Stoneware Obvara piece. A difficult technique but so worth it as the results are spectacular. When I pulled this piece from the smoke sagger, it immediately reminded me of the Nguni cattle found in Southern Africa. Nguni cattle are revered in Southern Africa and known for their fertility and resistance to diseases. Traditionally, the hides where used to cover a war-shield, that was not only used for protection, but played a rich symbolic role in tribal life. This should was also a warrior’s coat of arms. This piece carries the distinction and proud energy of the Sanga-Nguni cattle.
Stoneware Obvara Tumbler
Inside: Glazed with a food safe matt black glaze.
Outside: Unglazed sealed with Elements Earth, a permanent industrial strength, food safe and antibacterial high tech nano sealer. The unique sealer is truly one of a kind as it penetrates and bonds chemically with the unglazed surface. It can be used with any unglazed technique, and forms a permanent matt low sheen layer on the surface. It renders the piece water repellent, oleophobic, and alkali, acid, alcohol and chemical resistant, and has a a high UV resistance. Most importantly, it makes the piece dishwasher proof up to 300 deg. celsius. Not recommended to be used in an oven or microwave.
