Medium Sakura Branch Vase

Medium Sakura Branch VaseGentle branches of sakura buds adorn this charming vase. Enjoy the anticipation all year of blooms just about to burst. Fill with fresh flowers, sprigs of greenery, everlasting floral stems, or enjoy as a pretty accent piece in itself. I threw this ceramic vase on the wheel in durable stoneware, and once it was bisque fired, I hand painted petal pink buds and brown stems in underglaze before firing it a second time to fuse the pattern to the vase.

When you enjoy your favourite tea

The smallest easily doubles as a creamer

The design also works great as a snack-bowl-for-one with cherries

Both decorative and functional

stews or grain bowls

but can really go the distance

dips and condiments for a beautiful serving dish

afternoon-tea treats

The beautiful glaze of the tube cake pan allows it to double as serving ware: bring the cake to the table or transport it to a potluck right in the pan

Fill it with jams

I glazed the interior with a durable glossy glaze

or strawberries and whipped cream
