Persian Jar by Travis Owens







Persian Jar by Travis Owens
$500.00
This is a quintessential form at Jugtown. The jars that inspired the first Jugtown Persian Jars were made in what is now Syria, and were observed by Mr. Busbee at museums and in publications documenting ancient ceramics. This form has been made at Jugtown for over a century, and each maker interprets the shape and makes it their own. This one utilizes our Chinese Blue glaze at the top, and being fired in a heavily salted atmosphere in the wood kiln, the glazes appears a bit more glassy that usual, but is equally exciting. The dark clay used yields a warm salt glaze at the bottom, that compliments the colors as the glaze flowed from the handles and rope.
Dimension: 12 3/4” tall
