This is my five inch vase with small star details carved in and blue glaze under a layer of clear glaze to highlight the carvings. I also included blue glaze on the inside to help define the form of the vase. With this piece, I practiced carving details into greenware with the curved hook tool, learning how to angle it to get a desired shape. The space and color defining the star carvings emphasizes the shape of the stars and the overall effect of the pattern. This piece is important to me because it is my attempt to capture the whimsical spirit of books such as The Little Prince, and to explore the power of meaning presented in a more innocent tone.
