Small crack-textured sphere that is both functional and artistic. The artist, Lars Turin, made this wheel-thrown sphere using his unique technique of crusting the surface of soft clay with sodium silicate and a torch, and then stretching the still-soft clay to create controlled surface cracking. He then enhances the cracking with various colors and removes it from the smooth, white clay surface to create a dramatic contrast. On this piece the cracks are green and the interior is finished with a smooth blue glaze. Signed by the artist.
Approximately 3 1/4″ tall x 4 3/4″ in diameter at the widest
