Bee lovers will love this adorable vase!

Sweet yellow and black bees buzz happily among lively red flowers against a pale aqua background on this handcrafted vase. The images are created by carving the bee and flower shapes into the clay using a classic process called sgraffito. The vase is slab built with a folded seam down the back. The glazes are accented by black outlines and shiny pale green rim and lining.

Jennifer, a full-time potter in Wake Forest, NC., creates a marriage between aesthetics and function, through distinctive use of color and form. Starting with a practical and useful form, the pottery becomes a functional palette for layers of colorants and carving. Finding inspiration in the endless imagery of the mountains and coasts of North Carolina,  her pottery reflects it's vibrant colors with the earthy brown of the clay and the contrast of mattes and velvets against shiny and hard surfaces.

The vase measures approx 9.5" tall x 3.5" wide.

Perfect for arrangements and a wonderful gift for a bird lover!
