Oli Vase - Teal
Product Details
Sue Pryke is a potter whose sense of style and proportion has been utilised by major brands such as Ikea, Sainsbury's and Hornsea for the development of their commercial ranges. Her spare style is also used across her own ranges including these low vases. These vases remind me of curling stones. If you are just using them with one singular stem you might need to cut that stem quite short in order for it to sit upright in the vase, or you could take advantage of this property that the vase has and place a small branch of catkins or opening horse chestnut leaves in the vase and enjoy the way it hangs to one side of the vase. We have this 'Oli' vase in five different colours. These pieces are slipcast by Sue in her Leicestershire pottery. Slipcasting is a means of ceramic production where a plaster mould is made and the mould is then filled with slip (liquid clay). The slip then dries and the potter judges when the correct moment is to pour away the excess clay leaving a lining of clay in the mould. The mould can then be split to reveal the finished form. These vases are made from coloured porcelain and are unglazed on the outside surface and a gloss coating to the inside surface. The other two vase designs that we stock by Sue are 'Iris' and 'Ivy'.
