Red Goodie Jar

Description

I am offering this piece for sale at a reduced price it was originally 125.00
This lidded piece was made from a brown stoneware and was thrown on the wheel. I started with about 8.5 lbs of clay and threw this jar in one piece. The lid was thrown upside down and later tooled and the knob added.
The beads are tied to the knob with a leather cord. I used a white underglaze to draw the birds in flight that adorn the rim. It was dipped in glaze and then airbrushed in a combination that makes a deep rich maroon. The thorwing lines at the bottom were left to reveal a history and add accent to the glaze.
It was fired in to about 2300 degrees for 12 hours and left to cool down for 2 days.

Its versitile and can be used for a floral arrangement, summer garden adornment, or storage jar for the kitchen to stash bags of beans, cookies or rice. It will hold water if used for a vase.
It is food safe and all the glazes are lead free. You could even microwave it and put it in the dishwasher. But, a gentle hand wash and towel dry is all that is needed.

It is 13 inches in height.
