Four photos of the same small ceramic vase. The first photo shows the vase from the side; it is glazed brown with a series of indentations in which the glaze pooled and darkened to a near black. The second photo shows the vase from above; the neck of the vase is slightly asymmetrical and a dent can be seen in the body below. The third photo shows the vase from the side again but also slightly above. In a few indentations the glaze did not adhere, exposing circles of white clay beneath. The last photo shows the vase from the bottom. Carved into the white clay body are the words, “Baggs” and "Feb 26”.

“Piña de Pino.” Glazed ceramic, 3.5” wide by 2.5” tall. I have to satisfy the algorithm again this week, but I’m happy to do so with a new work of ceramics! I wouldn’t say I’m good at throwing yet but I turned a corner recently and started throwing larger pieces. While small, this one was well centered, but I accidentally sped up the wheel when I was taking it off and dented it. Rather than throw it away, I decided to make dents the whole aesthetic!
