Wandering Vines

I recently spotted a pottery piece that attracted my attention because it incorporated a similar handle idea that I had used in the past. The original was a plain utility piece, but the form looked interesting so I decided to see what I could do to push the design idea a bit. I used fiddle back maple and several layers of TransTint to add the color. The vines were done with a pyrography pen, and the field was stippled around the vines. The bar handle was hand carved. The piece is 5” in diameter.
