LIDDED VESSELS
You don't actually have to put anything in a lidded vessel but... cookies, chocolate kisses and coffee nips are ideal contents. On the more mundane side, you could keep spare change or cotton balls or receipts in a lidded vessel. Probably prettier than what you are using now! Trust me - if you get one you'll use it!

PETALS LIDDED VESSEL
This design of this piece was inspired by a portion of a painting by Georgia O'Keefe which hangs in the Museum of Modern Art in NYC.
This is the large size (7" diameter) which is $86. I do medium ($68) and small ones ($54) too. I used red clay for this piece but I can also do it with black stoneware.
You may have noticed that some of the pieces shown here have a lighter bright look (e.g. the TISKETTASKETVASE ). This is the effect of red clay underneath the glaze. Many of the pieces shown here with black clay can be done with red clay.
The main differences are:
- Lighter colors and more variety in color because many more glazes look good on the red clay;
- A brighter and more evenly surfaced gold/bronze glaze;
- A terracotta colored line instead of black;
- Lighter weight as the red clay is not as dense as the black.
