5.5"w x 6.5"h

$ 350.00

While Ryan Roller has been making pottery since he was a child it is his recent work which has risen to a new level of sophistication in form, polish, carving and firing techniques.  This jar is a classic water jar shape with a double shoulder and slightly turned out rim. The body of the piece is fully polished and there are four bear paws incised into the clay.  Below the shoulder are water designs that are carved into the clay.  Ryan’s pieces are stone polished and he gets an amazing even tonality to the surface of his work! It is nice to see how he is able to vary the design on such a classic piece!
