Artist signature is represented as a traditional potter's "chop" (hand-carved stamped frog).

Dishwasher safe. Durable.

Dots are made by using a liquified clay called “slip” that is deliberately squeezed on to an object one little dot at a time to create a raised surface. This gives the form texture and interferes with the fluidity of the layers of homemade glazes. 

Bumps made by using an old wooden tablespoon held against the outside of a vessel as index finger is pressed from the inside outward. This creates a consistent round bump to the exterior of the vessel. Glazes behave interesting as they find the path of least resistance around these bumps. These bumps give the user a functional gripping point.

Makes great oil bottle, oil dispenser, cruet. Perfect size for your olive oil, vinegar or and other liquid dispensing needs.
