BMF Vase Large Round Blue and Tan

This large hand-thrown vase is a striking blend of earthy warmth and bold texture. Wheel-crafted with a generous, rounded body and a gently narrowing neck, it has a commanding yet organic presence. Subtle throwing lines ripple beneath the surface, honoring the rhythm of the potter’s hands and adding quiet movement to the form.

The base layer features a soft tan underglaze that grounds the piece in natural, sandy warmth. This neutral backdrop allows the overlying decoration to truly stand out. Across the surface, a raised blue glaze is applied in textured patterns—slightly dimensional to the touch—creating contrast both visually and physically. The blue ranges from rich cobalt to softer denim tones, depending on how thickly it was applied and how it responded in the kiln.

The raised glaze catches light along its edges, emphasizing the sculptural quality of the design. In places where the blue meets the tan, subtle blending and feathering occur, adding depth and spontaneity. The interplay between the smooth tan foundation and the tactile blue texture gives the vase a layered, contemporary feel while still honoring traditional ceramic techniques.
