The Brooklyn Dairy Vessels | Vase
Apple picking in upstate New York led to the discovery of some beautiful High-Ground Dairy (a Brooklyn-based purveyor of milk in the 1920s) bottles collecting dust in an old barn. Using a three-part mold their vintage look was recreated with poured porcelain slip and a hand-glazed, colored interior.
