Marigold Vase Bookend

Alaina Kaye Ceramics Verified independent store

The clay itself is marigold yellow with a clear glaze over it. I made this by wedging yellow pigment into a white clay to turn the whole clay marigold. I then hand rolled it into a slab using a rolling pin, traced, measured and cut out each piece before assembling it to make the bookend. Once the bookend is dry I fire it in the kiln, then brush it with a clear glaze, and fire it again to make the final product. The vase bookend is for dried flowers or other dried foliage. It is not meant to hold water. If you want it to be heavier or more secure, place pebbles or the like in the bottom. Dimensions: about 5in high, 4.5in across, 1.5in deep The color can be hard to capture in a photo. If you would like more photos or videos please dm me on instagram: alainakayeceramics or email me at [email protected] and I'd be happy to share some! All sales are final so please be sure to reach out if you are unsure of the color. If you want to see a piece in person, I will be at Bolm Arts for Austin Studio Tours Nov 8th, 9th, 15th, and 16th 12pm-5pm. Show more
