This is a hand and wheel project that is a vase, 6 inches tall and 3.5 inches wide. It has a small base with a wide belly and gets choked at the neck and flares out at the lid. Applied to the side is strings of clay that are attached to the side of the vase to look like climbing vines or branches. Along the clay strings there are small round pieces of clay to look like flower buds and one flower. The surface is smooth but the clay vies/branches are not glazed so they are rough. It is glazed turquoise to look like the sky and the flower buds are stained candy red. The clay vines/branches are not glazed. The form, textures and glaze work together to create a vase that, in its own simple, but with the added clay, gives the natural and figurative illusion of a cherry blossom tree climbing up into the clear sky.
