"Invito" Pitcher · Vase Wheel Thrown Ceramic Pottery by GemFOX Free Shipping 5 3/4" tall 2 1/2" opening at very top 2 1/2" Cup liquid capacity Dishwasher, Oven, Microwave, Food Safe Glazed in soft mauve purples blending with claybody, reflective black underscore, and saturated blues and purples on the inside. Arabesque design around the belly shows the beauty and texture of the claybody, like a monument in miniature, the feeling of elegant permanence. Practical and decorative. Earthy high-fire stoneware thrown on my potter's wheel, glazed and fired at my school to around 2400° Fahrenheit, achieving our highest level of strength and vitrification for longevity and dynamic glaze effects. Made freestyle without use of molds, casting, measurements, nor templates so it's one of a kind. The finish is always influenced by the extreme and serendipitous environment of the kiln. Humbly handmade by me, Gem, in Tampa Bay Florida, USA. Imperfections are part of the nature and charm of handcrafted work.

Self Representing Artisan SRA #F71 in the U.S. specializing in, but not limited to, lampwork glass beads and jewelry, ceramics and pottery, knit and crochet, home-sewn fashion and other handcrafted items.
I work in a wide range of media and styles to fit many needs. I love working closely with clients to achieve something really unique and special whether it's for a gift, business, or personal enjoyment.
I work glass in the torch flame to create ornate beads, wearable art, tiny sculptures, and vessels. I'm known for intricate scrolls and florals on dainty elegant beads. From classic, to formal, to whimsical. I love to explore it all.
I also throw pottery on the wheel and especially love to create practical items with a timeless artful touch. From refined to rustic, form and function. Everyday items for home, kitchen, decor, dining, bar, restaurant, and winery. From long stem wine glasses to a favorite coffeemug. Let's create something special in ceramic that will outlast just about any other material through time.
If you love to cozy up with unique hand knitted and crocheted accessories, blankets, and garments, great because I always keep my hands busy and have yarn and a sticks close by. From baby hats, booties, and toys, to folkwear slippers, elegant scarves, hoods and shrugs. Knit and crochet is an essential part of many fashionistas' wardrobes, and almost all of us grew up with a special handmade afghan or blankie. Let's make it unique, make it personal.
I cannot wait to hear the project you have in mind so I can help bring your idea into reality!
