Bottle Study

This is the bottle study that I did towards the end of summer.  It was a leftover ceramic bottle from Damaged Goods.  The form was created when I was making press-molded bottles and didn't like the outcome.  A slam onto the table, and I fell in love with its distorted shape.  I fired it and tucked it away, knowing that I would do something more with it one day.

I was really just interested in experimenting with color, and after these were taken I put a very thin layer of wax on the outer surface (which was shown in the previous post).  It really has a skin texture.
