Hand Built Ceramic Challis, Matte with Black Glazed Interior

About the Item

A further examination of "The Challis" , these pieces are an offering, a gift, a ritual. Rather than a cup to be used it is a piece to be celebrated. Each one completely unique. Building on my favorite beautiful dark brown clay body, these pieces go a step further, offering a fantastical interior to gaze upon. Like a pool of ruffled petals, inside this Challis there is beauty and desire, power and intent. The curious will look in, the satisfied will gaze from afar. All is good! To those who look closely they will be rewarded with the observable technique of the artist: finger marks, scraping, the pinching and forming of the raw clay, with glaze added to the interior of the challis form. Again, no two could ever be the same and the uniqueness creates a piece of pride. Signed with Artist's signature chop underneath.
