Two sweet little bottle vases from the wood-fired kiln, one in the warm golden-brown of the natural wood ash glazing, one in a soft white shino-style glaze with lovely speckled ash-deposits.


The gourd-shaped form of these pieces are reminiscent of historic rice wine bottles I saw during my residency in the Gansu Province. These pieces are lovely by themselves and will also compliment a host of flowers.


The shortest of the pair is 6.5" tall.
