Ulla Hansen Sculptural Ceramic Vase
-
Description
Sculptural vase on square base, decorated in turquoise, light and gold glazes. Unconventional and funky, the dark sandy clay of southern Denmark gives a richness to her work that is truly remarkable - Ulla mixes the clay herself and stores it for at least a year before working it.
Her shapes are inspired by ancient pots and her forms are so unique. I love to look at this piece! It makes me very happy.
7.5" H x 9.5" W x 3" D
Artist: Ulla Hansen - "My preferred shapes and forms are classically inspired by ancient, Islamic and Asian arts and crafts. My clay is the very sandy red clay from the South of Denmark. In my large trays and bowls, I add stoneware clay. I mix and clean it myself and store it for more than a year before I use it. I throw all my pieces on the wheel, after which I pull or draw lobes, make facets, cut, shape, and/or stamp bands. I give most pieces a slip - often several layers. I'm very fascinated by glazes and the hues derived from the slips and the ash and clay glazes." -
