Spruce Blue Swirl Vase
Spruce Blue Swirl Vase
This handmade ceramic vase is wheel thrown and finished in a rich, glossy blue green glaze with subtle tonal variation and depth. The gently shifting hues – from deeper spruce blue tones to softer, lighter blues swirling near the neck – highlight the form and give the surface a sense of movement. With its sculptural profile and luminous finish, this vase works beautifully as both a functional flower vessel and a striking standalone piece.
The vase stands approximately 9.25 inches tall, with a 4.25-inch wide lip and a fuller shoulder measuring about 4.75 inches at its widest point. The base measures approximately 3.5 inches across, and the inner opening narrows to just over 2 inches, making it well-suited for holding bouquets or a few carefully arranged stems. All of my pottery is dishwasher safe for easy cleanup.
This vase is ideal for fresh flowers, dried arrangements, or foraging finds, with a narrower neck that helps support and shape your arrangement. Its height and presence also make it a beautiful decorative piece on its own – perfect for shelves, tables, or as a centerpiece. The bold blue glaze pairs easily with a variety of styles, from modern to more traditional or collected interiors.
This piece was thrown on my potter's wheel using B-Mix clay, a white stoneware. After drying and bisque firing, the vase was glazed all over in blue blue green glaze. Then the vase was dipped from the lip down to the shoulder in rutile glaze, in order to add some movement and interest to the deep blue green. The vase was fired to cone 10 in a reduced oxygen atmosphere.










This one-of-a-kind wood fired mug combines rich purple glaze with a deeply textured brown surface, creating a beautiful contrast between glossy color and earthy texture. The organic, ridged surface gives the mug a tactile quality that makes it especially enjoyable to hold, while the deep blue-purple glaze adds a bold pop of color around the upper portion.
At approximately 12 ounces, this mug is a comfortable size for coffee, tea, or your favorite everyday drink. Like all of my pottery, it is made by hand and designed to be both beautiful and functional.
