The pot at top. left, is a handcoiled and pit fired vase made using all natural colors. Thomas has been making the transition from kiln firing and the use of commercial paints so if you are thinking these pots seem less brilliant and 'perfect' it's because the traditional way is nature's way and filled with the natural variations found in nature. This vase measures 5.75 inches tall by 5 inches wide.Your price $195 ~ Item #SD274 Click here to see an enlargement.
