Flower

$4 586.94

Flower is an exceptional piece not only in design and scale but also for the joy it brings to the beholder.
Slab built by Amy J Hughes, Flower was then transformed into a slip cast mould.  The four-hole vase is slip cast in earthenware and then coloured slip is painted by 1882’s master potters. The piece, which is mammoth in scale, is then fired  leaving the exterior in a matt muted palette.  One side is a stunning purple finished with black while the reverse is a sunshine yellow meaning it can be displayed depending on the mood as well as the flowers.
