ahmedabad/platinum cage vase
platinum cage vase
this vase consists of two parts that come apart.
to facilitate replacement of water in the lower receptable,
the latticed upper section can be removed.
it is made from austrian stoneware clay with a clear glaze
and a glossy platinum overglaze
with its round base and squared top, this shape has
anthropomorphic overtones in shiny robot disguise.
it was transferred from one potter to another.
the new owner contents herself with its sculptural quality
and sees no need to place anything in it.
she placed it with her impressive collection of glassware
and assorted crystals and beads
