$149 · ERIC ROBERTS' UNIQUE 'HORSEHAIR' VASE - HIGH-FIRED RAKU SIGNED

Here is a unique piece of BC pottery. Eric Roberts has created this piece on the wheel. After drying and glazing the vase, he hi-fired the piece in the kiln, Then, in an enclosed container, he has thrown horsehair onto the red-hot piece to create a unique design in the glaze. The result is a fabulous piece of art, created by the raku process. Signed on the bottom, Eric Roberts is a well-known BC potter. "The founding president of the SVIPG (South Vancouver Island Potters’ Guild) Eric Roberts is known for his selection of award winning teapots. After a 10-year retirement from professional ceramics, he and wife June resumed creative pottery in 2012 in Victoria, B.C. and are enjoying a renaissance with exciting new glazes and styles. The former 4-kiln studio is reduced to one electric kiln but the excitement of opening a kiln is still there especially the teapots (both practical and whimsical). He can be found almost daily at his favorite location — behind his wheel in the beautiful city of Victoria on Vancouver Island." This vase has never been used for wet arrangements. It has been displayed as a piece of art in our home. Measurements are: 8"H X 7" across the top. A beautiful piece of signed BC raku pottery. Please call 250 658-0587 to view.
