Creamy White 3-Part Totem, Rectangular Cup on Top, Hand Built Ceramic Sculpture

About the Item

This luscious, creamy, almost waxy off-white surface is the combination of 2 glazes. One in a series of Modern TOTEMS, there are 3 parts, including a rectangular cup form on top. The stacked parts are made separately then combined, and the always different feet are attached before the first firing. Several firings and 2 glazes later I achieved this surface. It still shows the hand markings and scraping on the white clay beneath. Completely hand built. A very strong presence when placed alone. A dynamic conversation is created when paired with one or 2 other pieces (see last photo). Signed with Artist's Signature Chop underneath.
