Extra large and tall green lotus patterned ceramic vase. Water tight to display floral bouquets and perfect for very long stemmed bouquets, such as calla lilies. Handcrafted by husband and wife team Davin and Susan Butterfield in Ulster Park, New York. Butterfield Pottery is a fusion of potter and painter, working together producing handmade pottery. The quintessential thing about their work is the atmospheric effects of iron in oxygen reduction at high temperature. Many layers of oxides give the brushwork a painterly depth as oxides melt into the glaze on the very edge of melting down. Botanical imagery is painted in a gestural manner likened to impressionism, so that the feeling of light and color and movement comes alive on the surface. Measures 13.5 x 5.5 x 5.5 in. approx.
