A classic and popular shape from Ben Owen III and his family, this Melon Han Vase creates the perfect shape for displaying the beautiful colors in this artistic glaze combination. This design is influenced by pottery forms made during the Chinese Han dynasty. Vessels glazed in Pomegranate/Purple Haze provide a spectacular backdrop for any floral arrangement. With an ethereal quality, resembling an artistic interpretation of a purple galaxy in space, this piece will surely gain compliments from all eyes that see it. Measuring 4”w x 5.5"h.

This recent glaze venture from Ben Owen III involves layering multiple copper glazes. Intentionally, the Purple Haze glaze was developed to create wide variations in colors and visual textures. From rich, dark reds to lighter berry-reds and all the way to vibrant blues and purples, the Pomegranate/Purple Haze glaze is truly an artistic approach to glaze formation. A treat to see with each kiln load!
