Kutani Coral Artifact Ceramic Art Pottery Sculpture by Michael W. Moses

Here are a few images of me working on one of my latest pieces. This piece is called, Kutani Coral Artifact. This is (for my work) a large piece. It measures about 13 inches tall.


Here I am at my work table listening to music with my headphones on.  I  was listening to

At this point the work had been sculpted, slowly dried, and fired to a bisque state.   I have just started to do the underglaze painting.



This is what the piece looked like after it had been completely painted, overglazed and fired. I added a number of  inset vintage glass rhinestones and a beadwork yellow sea anemone to give it just a tiny bit more pizzazz!.
A view of the back.  The front is all smooth and glassy, while the back has a rough almost rusted iron feeling.

This work of ceramic art pottery is a one of a kind item that will surely be a stand out piece in any setting that it may be placed.
