Pottery by Osa

I’m working on building a digital portfolio of past and current work on my website. I made this pitcher in 2021 using a glaze that I’ve had to retire because of insurmountable technical difficulties. (I did a whole podcast on it for any ceramic material nerds out there: https://youtu.be/WjfWUbbNY6M) I loved the fluidity of this surface which aligned so well with the function of a pouring pot and the blue waters of the Florida Gulf Coast. I’m curious who ended up with this piece of #pottery.

A photo of a medium-sized water pitcher on a plain light brown background. The pitcher is curvaceous, with a voluminous bottom portion and narrow waist—what some might consider a feminine figure. The glaze is mostly aqua in color, but also variegated, revealing the red clay beneath as it breaks over the textured geometric line carving just below the waist. There are hints of iron-red and metallic gray along the rim and spout. It is apparent that the glaze has flown down the pot during firing, collecting in vertical channels where the color becomes more vibrant.
