Gorgeous, earthy everyday handmade vases would fit in any decor. Viki, from Cool Clay Pots, also makes some very interesting kitchen cookware but we think that her vases by far are her specialty. We struggled out of more than half a dozen photos to select which one would accompany this text because all of them were great and unique in their own way.
If you like the vase in the photo at right you need to visit her site to see the rest of the collection available for purchase.
Read the excerpt below from Viki's website.... www.CoolClayPots.com
In the Sierra Foothills, near the small community of Cool, California and nestled among the Heritage oak and pine is Vicki Calhoon’s studio. Here Vicki spends hours creating unique, functional, kitchen pottery and decorative “Saggar Fired” vases.
Vicki’s Saggar Fired vases are very unique. There is no actual glaze, rather a fuming process. After the initial bisque firing, each piece is placed in its own chamber containing sawdust, salt and copper carbonate. They are fired in a Raku kiln. As the sawdust burns, it fumes colors and patterns into the clay body. Each piece is uniquely different.
