DESCRIPTIVE DATA
----------------
object type: Three hollow beehive-shaped vessels with deeply cut concentric ‘fins’, made from thickly thrown parian lathe-turned when leather hard. Once biscuit-fired, each vessel was filled temporarily with cobalt sulphate solution, saturating the body and producing a pearlware tinge and a concentration deep cobalt blue at the fin edges. After a further firing, a small patch of fin edges towards the pointed end of each vessel was abraded to provide a stable base, so that the vessels sit with slightly upturned mouths.
object type: Parian, thrown, lathe turned and saturated with cobalt sulphate solution.
title:	vessel
