35. Liza Fisher, wood-fired vase

For Fisher, see item 34.

Light gray clay, cream and brown glazes and orange-brown colors from the wood-firing. Weight. 522 g (1.2 lb). Rim diameter: 6.5 cm (2-5/8 in); maximum diameter 11 cm (4-3/8 in); base diameter: 6.5 cm (2-5/8 in). Height. 15 cm (6 in).

Hand-thrown. The pot sits directly on the base, which is slightly concave. Fisher’s mark, a cursive "LF," is incised into the base. The walls curve outward to the maximum diameter about 7 cm (3 in) above the base and then curve inward to the rim.

This was covered with a cream glaze, parts of which became an orange-brown during the wood-firing. A dark brown glaze was splashed against the upper part of one side and allowed to drip down the side. There is some speckling from ash deposits.

Purchased from the artist,at Watering Cove Studios, Prospect Harbor, Maine, May 2016.
