pot #39

Cinderelish...Cindy Buehler made this. I keep vase/large tumbler on my counter with kitchen tools in it. I love the blue. I have a rather dull counter top and tiles and this pot jumps out...adds life to the surroundings.
I bought this at the Crafty Chicks holiday event in Liberty last year...where I also bought a wonderful bird pin made from tiny beads.
The vase is 7 x 4.5", made from ^5-6 porcelain from Bracker's. Cindy threw the piece, coated it with black slip and sgrafitto-ed the surface so that the white clay will show. She fired and then glazed it with this great blue glaze.
Lick-able and luscious.

Pot #11

This is the first Jenny Mendes piece I bought...pre 2004, I think. Just like the Friday's piece, it is a pinch pot made of Terra Cotta. It's measurements are 1.75 x 3 x 3". It is glazed only on the inside...with an opaque white glaze. The lip is detail with black dashes and hatched dashes. At the bottom are two black birds and a vine. All details are sgrafitto-ed into the black slip or glaze. Like Friday's piece, her potters mark is 'jM', with a horizontal slash through the top of the 'j'. Now that I look at it, the image might be upside down. I dunno, you decide. Look for Sunday's pot late in the day...
