madara manganese turtle vase

h 31cm

a slightly larger version of the turtle vase,
also constructed from three parts.
this piece was also refired and I added a line
of manganese oxide where the two bowl-like
shapes meet and form a pronounced edge.
the line was blurred and flowed down
along with the melting glaze.
the manganese brown goes well
with the greenish beige of the madara glaze
