These vases are among the last pieces I made in 2016 while still in Brussels. The decoration is very different from what I have been doing in the past: I smeared moist cobalt oxide onto the porcelain, making final adjustments as needed, by adding a little here and there, and sanding marks off where they weren’t wanted. Each vase has either two, or three designs. These tall vases were made by fusing two thrown cylinders together. A clear, transparent glaze poured on the inside; the same glaze lightly sprayed on the outside, using the spray gun.
