This vessel is part of a set I made that includes a pitcher and jar. I noticed on this cup and the pitcher I made, both had cracks on the bottoms on the inside of the vessels. I believe this is because they are thick, especially compared to the walls. In the forms I completed afterwards, I took extra care in making sure that the bottoms are thinner so they wont crack.
This pitcher is inspired by the painting “The Starry Night” by Vincent Van Gogh. It’s an extremely popular painting and has personal meaning to me, as it was hung in my house as a small child. I used a picture for reference, and ‘painted’ on thick slip, making painting more 3d. Though it is not exactly like the painting, I think the texture is nice and really makes it stand out.
