Description
I made Taos Salt Cellar on the potters wheel, with a seated lid and a flat bottom. A low profile jar, wider than it is high. A classic cylindrical shape.
The ‘Taos’ glaze consists of overlapping blue, green, cream, & gold glazes. I dip and pour the 4 glazes in a technique I have developed that results in a surface that references Northern New Mexico: blue skies, green mountains, cream puff clouds, and golden sunshine. There are some intriguing passages on this surface with some red browns like a faint hit of mountains.
Store your favorite salt for a pinch or teaspoon ready when you need it. Keep it on the table or by the stove. Or use as a sugar bowl. Or store sweetener packets. Maybe the coins from your pockets need a catching jar. Or your paper clips need a gathering pot.
You can even bake a little brie or dip in this gem. Use it to serve salsa and then cover and pop the leftovers in the refrigerator!
Taos Salt Cellar makes a great gift when you are the guest at dinner or a holiday soiree. Or a “happy birthday”, “welcome to the neighborhood”, or “thank you” gift!
It’s a little treasure for the right stuff.
