Pocket Egg
This egg sculpture was thrown on the wheel, then altered to add pockets made of Nerikomi pattern. Nerikomi is a Japanese technique that uses colored clay to create pattern IN the clay. These pockets can be used to store dried flowers and turn it into a kind of “tulip” vase although tulips would be too big to fit in it, or you can insert a fairy light and turn it into a light sculpture. It also looks really cool just by itself. It has pockets!
It was covered with a clear glaze as well as the tripod base it is resting on. Both pieces were fired at cone 6 (over 2200 degrees F or 1200 degrees C). The egg is 6 inches tall and about 5 inches at its widest. The egg and base are sold together.
NOTE: in a couple of places, the pockets are not smoothly attached to the egg. You can see it in the close up picture. It is hardly noticeable unless you’re looking closely.
