Description: Wheel Thrown Studio Pottery Cup by Veteran Artist Michael Kline Product Description:This cup is expertly wheel thrown and trimmed. It is fired in a high temperature wood kiln. The ash glaze reacts to the turbulent atmosphere in the wood kiln in subtle and unpredictable ways, leading to interesting variations in the semi gloss surface. The cup is austere and introspective. It is stoutly made and feels substantial - yet balanced in the hand. The artist expertly marries Japanese traditional aesthetics with American sensibilities in his work. Clearly marked with the artist's signature. About Michael Kline:Michael has been a studio potter since 1993.
