Patchwork in Red and Black

Ceramic Vase

Created by Jean Elton
Warm and cozy like grandma's quilt. The top of this vase sports a distinctive folding of its top edge and a gentle slope. The surface treatment here features a minimal number of colors so as to enhance the shape of the work. Both the interior and exterior have a matte finish.

The work is fired first to approximately 1800 degrees F, after which any remaining fine alterations can be made with reduced risk of loss due to breakage. A second firing to about 2100 degrees F brings the process to completion. While most do not use Jean Elton work to hold flowers for display, this work (as all Jean Elton pieces) does hold water.

A certificate of authenticity provided with the sale of each Jean Elton work displays that work's unique serial number found on its underside. Both the work and its certificate are signed by Jean Elton.
