My vases for flower display begin from the thrown cylinder and bowl form, or from basic slab constructions. Often the vases are fired in my wood-fired kiln (Skyline Kiln), where I can take advantage of the natural ash glazing that often enhances the applied glazes and colors the clay surface with a light patina.
