Large closed vessel, by Peter Hayes

Image attached to C.17-2018

An image of Studio Ceramics. Large closed vessel. Hayes, Peter (British, b.1946). Large flask-like closed vessel with narrow elliptical base, rising with straight sides and flattened at the top to a wide horizontal-line shoulder. A small incision in the shoulder leads down to a circular opening from back to front, though the top of the vessel remains entirely sealed. Surface coated with red-brown slip incised with an abstract texture like wood that has begun to split with age. Burnished to a shiny finish which the firing process has shaded from mid to dark. Designed to stand upright. Hand-built clay, slip coated, decorated with incised pattern, burnished and fired. Height 33.5 cm, width 31.5 cm, depth 12 cm, 1997.
