Ceramic Vase by Bob Steiner good luck charm The toki (adze) is aCeramic vase by renowned NZ ceramic artist Bob Steiner The plastic nature of clay is often lost in the moulded production of pottery. With the Cuba series Bob has endeavoured to bring a sense of the soft, plastic nature of the clay while making a bold and functional form. The Cuba Vase was made spontaneously by manipulating the clay. The clay was rolled out into a thick snake like roll, cut off and stood on end. Width: 11cm Height: 40cm Depth: 11cm
