V-14 Bell-Shaped Vase

This shape is so unusual I call them UFO shapes, but they also remind me of pots I made in the 1990’s  which I called ‘bell jars’. I’ve made pots for so long that I sometimes discover the same idea twice! With brushed and trailed slips, it is wood fired and salt glazed. It was placed inside a planter when fired and you can see the color change from top to bottom as less and less salt vapor made its way down inside.
