cone 6 stoneware

SOLD

Goddess jar 2

size: 5 1/2" x 3"

cone 6 stoneware

SOLD

This jar was part of commission for a goddess party. A series of 12 jars were created to give to unique women. Each jar had it own character just as each of the women, but the finneals ties them altogether just as each of the women are tied together in a special way.

 

This delicate little jar was part of the Goddess jar series. I always make extra pieces when I am commisioned - just in case something goes wrong. These jars are just the right size to store special treasures. Great for gifts.
