Title : Covered Jar Materials : Terracotta, white gold luster Date : 2016 Dimensions : 18.5 x 8.5 x 8.5 inches Description : wheel thrown and altered terracotta, cone 04 oxidation, glazes and luster COA provided Mariko Brown Harkin about her work: "My fascination with pottery comes from my desire to make art and to produce something that is not only functional but visually appealing.
