Sculptural Stoneware Jar with lid, Rubbed buy dark red stain, amber crackle glaze inside, on lid, and on the foot and base.

This half round covered jar is 6" wide, 6" deep and 4" high (6" to top of lid handle). It is a slab built piece. The outside has an overall impressed pattern, with a center panel of woven buy squares. The side panels have a vertical pattern of lines. The overall front and back texture is washed with a dark red ceramic stain which is wiped back from the high places. The end pieces are washed with a brown-red stain. The inside and top are glazed with a gloss amber crackle glaze that is accented with an India ink stain in the cracks. This piece is high fired stoneware. It is one of a kind, although I make this shape and pigment/glaze combination often. A great accent piece.
