The surface of this hand-thrown porcelain vase with slip has been decorated with small grooves dug into the wet clay then filled with different colours. The idea was to exhibit the depth and materiality of the material. It has been burnt in such a way as to enhance the colour scheme.

This hand-thrown and perforated sculptural vase was inspired by imagery and properties of ice. A structure was shaped with a saw blade before adding black slip. The structure allows the glaze to “pull” the black colour, and a thick glaze makes glass drops appear at the bottom. Red hues were created with a burnt reduction with a bit of red “Oxblood” glaze.

This piece was inspired by imagery and physical properties of fossils as well as ice crystals and stamped with a hand carved pattern. The shape combines the raw and the refined; a thin and translucent body with sharp and unpolished edges.

This hand-thrown porcelain sculptural vase has been left with a raw, jagged edge. Hanne Bertelsen likes to combine raw and refined aesthetics to add contrast and invite the eye to wander. The surface of the vase was perforated and decorated with black slip and red “Oxblood” glaze, burnt reduction.

This sculptural porcelain vase was inspired by the organic movements of seaweed at the bottom of the sea. The decoration has been scraped into the surface of the clay and the final surface texture and colour achieved with a burnt reduction and a bit of red “Oxblood” glaze to add colour.
