Description
I made Taos Angel on the potter’s wheel with stoneware clay and then trimmed an ever so slight foot. Stoneware clay is a strong and durable clay body that is ideal for table ware. A low, open bowl form. Well balanced.
I call this glaze technique ‘Taos” because the overall effect reminds me of the natural environment in Northern New Mexico. I start by dipping half the bowl in a floating blue glaze that I make. Next I dip the remaining half in a copper glaze I make. Now the fun begins and I start to feel like a painter flinging, pouring, and trailing cream glaze and then red gold over the top. Lately, I have started to daub a bit of the red gold glaze as well to add a punch, a suggestion of something floral or cloud like. Blue, green, and cream glazes I make myself; and I purchase the red gold glaze.
The melding of the glazes is somewhat unique each time, making groupings of, or an entire place setting, dinnerware in the Taos glaze interesting. I see at least one angel emerging from the magic.
Use this bowl for serving sides, pasta, or salad; or, use Taos Medium Serving Bowl as a mixing bowl or even a fruit bowl. And it’s light weight, balanced, and durable.
Makes a stunning wedding gift, anniversary gift, house warming gift, and will compliment any dining or serving table and home decor.
