This is my set in lidded vase. It is about 3.5 inches wide and 4.5 inches tall with a narrow neck and a wide base and a rustic blue/green glaze. For the vase of my lidded I had to throw a tall cylinder which I then shaped into a vase using my rib tool and my hands along with choking to create a narrow neck. I really wanted to improve my ability to make a better shaped vase so I really tried to make the vase one that had character but was still pleasing to the eye. To do that I made sure to leave two-thirds of the vase wider and gradually make it skinnier as it went up. Putting a lot of emphasis into making sure my project was pleasing to the eye gave the finished vase a sense of unity as the whole piece fit together so well. For the lid I actually made a first one but the knob was much too big so I decided to make a second one which turned out much better as it was actually proportionate with the rest of the lid and the vase itself. When it came time to glaze my project I decided to do shadow green for the vase and lid however I then went back and sponged on Sydney blue around the top half of the vase to add movement of a different color around the project. I'm very proud with how well my lidded turned out as it was my first time making two different 'projects' on the wheel and then combining them to create something so harmonious. I'm also very happy that the lid actually works with the vase as I think it adds a new sense of detail to the vase.
