Sue Pryke is a potter whose sense of style and proportion has been utilised by major brands such as Ikea, Sainsbury's and Hornsea for the development of their commercial ranges. Her spare style is also used across her own ranges including these straight sided vases. These pieces are slipcast by Sue in her Leicestershire pottery. Slipcasting is a means of ceramic production where a plaster mould is made and the mould is then filled with slip (liquid clay). The slip then dries and the potter judges when the correct moment is to pour away the excess clay leaving a lining of clay in the mould. The mould can then be split to reveal the finished form. These vases are made from coloured porcelain and are unglazed on the outside surface and a gloss coating to the inside surface. As well as this 'Iris' vase we also have the slightly taller 'Ivy' vase Measurements: Height: 22cm Diameter 9.5cm
