Ivory Crystals: A Pitcher

Pitchers are one of those classic pieces of pottery.  I really enjoy creating them.  They have enough surface area to really show off some great crystal formations and growth.  I also love seeing how people use pitchers in their homes whether for beverage service or to display a fresh bouquet of flowers.  This particular pitcher was glazed in ivory crystalline.  It is not a glaze I have showcased a lot of, but it is definitely one of my favorite glazes.  The ivory crystals really formed quite beautifully against the steely light gray background.  This glaze looks completely different on a flat surface, like a platter or in a bowl.  It is simply stunning!  This pitcher is a pretty good size, too.  It stands about 9.25″ tall with a rim diameter of 5.25″ wide.  It holds about 56 oz (7 cups).  Perfect for that cold pitcher of lemonade or iced tea!  You can find this pitcher up on my Etsy Shop.  Stop on by.
