Description
I made Taos Canisters on the potters wheel, with a seated lids that plunge into the body of each jar. Classic cylinders with flat bottoms. Slightly peaked lids with knotted handles. Generous opening. Sturdy.
I call this glaze combo ‘Taos’ because it reflects the colors of Northern New Mexico: Blue skies, green junipers and sage, creamy clouds, and golden sunshine. consists of overlapping blue, green, cream, & gold glazes. First, I dip the top 3/4 of both pieces in a floating blue glaze that I make. Then I dip the bottom quarter of each pot in a copper green glaze that I make. Next I trail or pour a cream rust glaze over the seam of the blue and green glazes. Lastly, I tip the rims and trail and daub red gold glaze to punch up the brightness.
Store coffee, nuts, dried fruits, candies, or grains. Beautiful enough to set right on the kitchen counter to make access quick and easy.
