#02 Tall Vessel
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 winter months in the Midlands area of Kwa Zulu Natal Province of South Africa. Nature slows down and comes to rest. Cold winter nights and mild sunny winter without rain, and occasional light snow that fills the space in between. On wind still days the farmers do firebreaks to prevent winter veldt fires from running rampant when the uKhahlamba Drakensberg winds come blowing from the mountains. A wonderful place to be.
Unglazed surface sealed with Elements Earth: An industrial strength nano-technology permanent coating.
Elements Earth is a natural food safe solution with anti-bacterial properties for use on any smooth unglazed fired ceramic surface. Due to it’s unique chemical formulation, it forms a highly durable layer that protects delicate surface treatments like prints made with plant material on ceramics. This product chemically bonds with the ceramic surface and once dry forms a low sheen, matt 3d matrix on the surface. It is highly water repellant, oil and fat repellent and anti-bacterial. It is also alkali, acid , alcohol and chemical resistant and has a high UV resistance as well. As the success of this unique sealer is reliant on the conditions of application, please see the FAQ and T&C’s for product information & application.
