A square photo of a tall, curvaceous water pitcher with a pedestal foot, wide hips, narrow waist, tall neck and fluid spout & handle. The pitcher sits in a bowl with an undulating rim reminiscent of a clam shell. The colors of the pitcher and bowl are light bluish-green with the rusty red of the stoneware clay below peaking through. The background of the photo is plain tan.

I was building my portfolio last night and came across this photo of a piece from my 1st solo show in 2022. As I've explained before, I can't get this glaze to work anymore so I won't be making pieces like this anytime soon.
The pitcher & basin set resembles Botticelli’s #Venus standing in a clam shell. However, the intention of this piece was simply to honor #water as a ritual element with spiritual significance, not to reference the painting.
