Blue Porcelain Urchin Vessel
carved blue & white porcelain with underglaze and high-fire glaze
2" tall x 2.75" wide (5cm x 7cm)

I threw this porcelain vessel on the potter's wheel using a swirl of cobalt blue and white porcelain. When the piece was leather-hard, I trimmed it on the wheel then hand-carved in the pattern and painted dark indigo underglaze into the incisions. Once the piece was bisque-fired, I applied a chartreuse high-fire glaze to the inside and a clear gloss high-fire glaze to the outside.
