"Come to me my Love" Pod Vase by Michael W. Moses of Ocean Springs, MS

Here is one of my newest pieces of hand sculpted ceramic art pottery, which I call the "Come to me my Love" alien pod vase.

 This piece looks as if it might have been captured just above high tide on a delightful tropical beach on an alien planet far from our everyday lives!

Then again it has that organic quality that makes it seem to be some type of quasi animal-plant life that hungers for small creatures to come forth and give themselves up to it's desires.

Then again this type of life form may not passively wait for good things to arrive in it's presence, it may actively go out on the prowl looking for the unwary.

What ever the case, this neo Victorian objet d'art will be the master of whatever domain it will be placed, be it your bright conservatory or a cool shady curio cabinet in your front parlor. This piece will surely be the dominate species in any setting!

"Yellow Red Service Shell Bowl" Hand Sculpted Ceramic Art Pottery by Michael W. Moses Ocean Springs, MS

Fresh to our world from a sun drenched alien seashore comes the "Yellow Red Service Shell" bowl.

A luxurious study in a matt, satiny, sulphur yellow exterior glaze.

The yellow outside is a perfect foil for the shiny glassy red interior of this piece.




 Each little tiny blue dot is painted one at a time and then painted over with a drop of clear glaze. The yellow is three coats of glaze tediously hand painted around the dots.

The flowing pink and red interior is totally hand painted to give it the effect of a natural flowing surface and then covered in crystal clear glaze.

 

The bottom is hand engraved with my signature and place of manufacture. The writing is filled with colored glaze that is fired on to the piece.

"The Constant Gardener" Wall Pocket Orchid Planter by Michael W. Moses...Sold

Initial Fired Bisque Ware

 This is a piece of hand sculpted ceramic art pottery, that I started quite a while back and just finally finished last month.  It seems that the last six months has been so busy with relocating the antique shop and moving into a new home that I just have not been getting much pottery done.

I almost always take images of my art works as they progress.  I do this so I can have a permanent visual record of the development of each piece and also so that I can show people the different stages that my pottery goes through from start to finish.  Here are some of the progressional images of this new Wall Pocket / Orchid Planter
