Pottery Wall Vase
by Doug Smith

This wall vase hangs securely from a hook or nail. It is approximately 8 1/2 inches long. Wall vases or "wall pockets" are an old-fashioned folk form. It is thrown upside down without a "bottom" then closed at the "top" like tying a balloon. It can hold flowers, dried arrangements, cooking utensils, pens and pencils or living plants like ivy. This glaze combination is called Laurel and Garnet which are overlapped so they intermingle during the firing.  The rim of this piece is polished for a smooth finish and has the potter’s mark of Doug Smith to verify its origin.

To see more of Doug's work, go to www.etsy.com and look for the seller:  dougsmith.
