My new series of Alice in Wonderland Heart vases are made of porcelain. They are named after my beloved artist mother, Alice, who made ceramics, fused glass, and jewelry into her 90s. She decorated a lovely small heart vase with a decal and signed it in gold luster! It’s in my bathroom and holds my manicure set. But as you can see here, makes a lovely flower vase for spring bouquets.

These were picked from my garden as snow began to melt, and they liven up the vase in a delightful way.

These pieces are very tricky to make: the clay must be at the perfect state of wetness to attach, and dryness. The slightly cattywampus look gives it character! The design is from a hand carved stamp I made.

In beautiful red for Valentine’s Day when this was glazed and fired, the opening allows for beautiful arrangements of your fresh garden bouquets, or for your desk with pencils and pens, or in your bathroom for manicure items. Porcelain decorated while still wet clay with stamps, and then glazed and fired to cone 6.

Add a festive and unique touch to your home decor with this original design. This heart stands 4 ¾” tall by 4” wide by 1 ½” deep.

This piece is on display and for sale at Oregon Potters Association Holiday Pop Up Show in downtown Portland.
