This collection of pottery is high fired Porcelain. There is a delicate canister set, bowl, platter, tiny pitcher, 3 vases, and finally a pair of planters with African Violets. The tall vase in the middle is my favorite from this new style of work. The Porcelain fires out so much thinner and delicate looking at the high temperature, and the glaze I used blended in the carved detail, and made nice texture too.

This little collection of pottery is made from high fire Porcelain. This is a brand new way of doing things for me. In the past, I used Porcelain in the same way as the earthenware, at low-fire temperatures and low-fire glazes. When high-fired, the Porcelain gets much thinner, almost translucent, so the final piece is more delicate looking than low-fire pottery. I still really like the almost endless choice of glaze combinations with low-fire, and the carving/sculpting shows up better, but the high-fired porcelain is beautiful in its own way, so I'm enjoying the differences right now.

This group has a large Arts and Crafts style covered jar, a Pumpkin box, and an Arts and Crafts style vase with a bunch of Sunflowers. The Sunflowers came from a kit by Bonnie Lavish and will be included with the vase.

This set of dollhouse pottery is in the Arts and Crafts and Majolica style. The Anemone flowers in the bowl vase came from a kit by Bonnie Lavish, the wild Peachy Pink Roses are made from scratch. The glaze on the round vase is too incredible for pictures to show, it is my current favorite glaze, and it really made this vase unique.
The tiny Cherry pitcher is a little like Italian Majolica, and loosely based on a teacup set I have in full size made by Franz Porcelain.
The tiny soft green pitcher has a leaf design in relief, and the same glaze color combiniation was used for background on the tall pitcher and bowl set.

This group of vases were sculpted and inspired by the Arts and Crafts style. With the exception of the yellow vase with the branch, all of them are my own design. The Yellow branch vase is my version of vase originally designed by the Ephraim Pottery.
The Forsythia in the trumpet vase is the current most favorite floral I have made so far. I tried many different ways of doing this one until I remembered tissue paper flowers I made as a child. The flowers on the Forsythia branch are made the same way, just much, much smaller. The White and Pink Roses are my own design made from scratch, but the Poppies in the Poppy Vase are from a kit by Bonnie Lavish.

This group has Sushi for Two in both color ways I make. The seagreen Patina and seafoam Teal. The Japanese Tea Set started with a Black Matte that I added cobalt crystals to. The crystals don't show up well in this picture, but I will be having many closeups for the ArtFire listing. The Arts and Crafts style vase has a very lovely texture to the glaze that didn't obscure the leaf carving. I lined this one in a complimentary glaze and made simple Desert Rose flowers for accent.

In this set of Dollhouse Miniatures I have a large tray with melted glass, two vases in Arts and Crafts style, and a teapot I've named Starry Night. The teapot has a full moon, grass, and a midnight sky full of stars. The teapot is fully functional with the removable lid and ability to pour liquid from the spout.

This collection of dollhouse miniatures has one of the biggest vases I've made and some of tiniest boxes and vases I've made. The large vase has definite colors of green dividing the carved leaves from the rest.
The pitcher and vase with the dark Roses are carved with similar designs and glazed with the same glazes. The pitcher is lined in a semi-matte pink, and the outer glaze came out differently too due to kiln temperature. The tiny star box and round cabinet vase will be sold as a set, and the red heart box and tiny red vase are a set too.

This group has an Iris Blue Flower Platter, a tiny Aqua vase, pitcher, and an experimental vase.
The vase that has the Queen Anne's Lace stems was sculpted with some high relief shapes because I wanted to see what would happen if I added glass bits to a curvy piece. It came out fun! The Aqua colored glass is crackled nicely and didn't flow too far down the bowl of the vase, just made another nice band of color over the Parment colored glaze.
The florals were made from kits by Bonnie Lavish. She makes wonderful kits, and they've helped me learn how to make many flowers and floral from scratch too. I have begun selling sets of flowers by themselves or with a touch of greenery in my Etsy Studio.

This set of vases and planter (with the tree), are from my first attempt at high fire porcelain. I like the delicate feeling of the porcelain fired at high temperature. It becomes almost translucent, and shrinks the piece so much thinner than the pieces fired with the low-fire glazes.
