$ 2,200.00

Autumn Borts-Medlock is known for her often fanciful carved pottery and use of unique shapes.  This seedpot is fully carved with three flowers as the design.  The flowers are each fully polished and there is a white clay slip used for the center of each.  She has also used a green clay slip for the leaves of the plants.  Separating each fo the flowers are swirling cloud designs.  Above the flowers is a lighting, cloud and rain design polished red.  She has carved her signature “circles” into the clay and they are highlighted with a mauve clay slip.  Note as well how she has used a micaceous clay slip for the background matte area.  This adds just a bit of sparkle to the piece in the right light!  The bowl is nearly completely carved!  In addition, the carving is sharp and it has an amazing feel when it is held.  It is signed on the bottom in the clay.
