Folded Vase with Gold Interior and Circle Cutout
Ceramic Vase
Created by
Jean Elton
The original model for this shape was turned on a plaster wheel, from which a casting form was made. The casting form is one piece which enables the final work to be cast without seams. While the clay is still moist, the work is folded by hand to create a sculpted look. The resulting shape makes a strong impression yet is both visually and physically light.
The work is fired first to approximately 1800 degrees F, then the inside is painted by the artist using a black underglaze. The final firing, which requires approximately 2100 degrees F, takes the work to its final form: a lightweight (approximately 7 pounds) yet sturdy vessel that can be used as an elegant vase or as a standalone, purely decorative work of ceramic art. The interior gold satin finish and the natural exterior (with no clear overglaze) make this striking piece particularly elegant.
