It looks ancient and yet at the same time it's also somehow 'space age'. I find that contradiction quite fascinating. Rhodespottery 0467 by ~rhodespottery (Suggested by *QuibblerMe and Featured by `dedredhed)

Wow, this is amazing, it looks ancient yet somehow space age at the same time. I don't know what it is that makes me think 'space age', maybe it's the lid.

It's quite fascinating!

Thanks! I really like your jade work. Makes me want to try to incorporate stone & glass into some of my pot lids. Guess I'll need to learn some new skills first, though.

Cheers, Jerry

It was once told in Symmyrnea... That whoever would talk to pine barks in the forest,write the mystery on the sea with ancient woods and take those faces to the isolated rocks on an island, would find the road to OEGGEM. And...(the end is the beginning)

thats stunning! Almost makes me want to attempt the pottery wheel again except for the fact that I need a left-handed one or one that can reverse completely to work both and my school is too cheap to get one. Absolutely amazing job finishing it too!

When you finally notice the flowers of evil that I set into bloom this evening, as the bells rang, we will all be six feet under crying our eyes out like the spoilt children we are. :blackrose:

Fantastic vase. I had the opportunity of a ceramics class during a summer semester at university--was a cinema/animation major, but liked the fine arts too. And I had the chance to see some raku-firing. Also had help in raku-firing some small pieces of my own. (They came out iridescent gold/gray-ish. I still have them lying about this attic somewhere.)

I especially like the different colors, and the geometric patterns on it. The lid's use of a branch like shape is really unusual, and I think it's part of what sets this apart for me.

I also have to say your presentation of this piece in the image is very nice. It emphasizes the colors, and shows us the details of it. Besides I'm a sucker for gold/purple lighting. :D

Years are like fractals. The more you've seen of them, the more you appreciate the details of each one, rather than how many you've seen.
