Gray and Milky White Textured Swirl Crock
Gray and Milky White Textured Swirl Crock
This pretty crock would be lovely on any kitchen counter or bar. It was created to be a spoon crock or a wine chiller, but there are many other possibilities. It would be gorgeous for a big wide bouquet of flowers, or it could be warmed in the oven to keep food hot. The neutral gray and creamy white could blend beautifully into many types of decor.
DIMENSIONS
This piece stands 5 3/4 inches tall, and it's 4 1/4 inches wide across the lip. It measures a bit over 6" wide at the widest part of the shoulder, and about 3 3/4" across the foot. The rich and warm colors of the piece would blend into many styles of decor.
The crock was thrown on my potters wheel using white BMix clay. The gray texture was painted around the pot with a gray slip (gray slip = clay that's been watered down and blended with gray stain). The swirl shape was added by pressing into the side of the pot using the rounded end of a rubber rib, as my fingers pressed out from the interior of the pot. The rib and my interior hand moved quickly up the pot as it spun, pressing in the swirl shape with a single pass.
