Our Fern Large White Vase is made of hand-thrown ceramic onto which the design is "painted” with wax to seal the surface where it exists. When the entire pot is sprayed with white glazing and baked at 1200 Celsius, the wax melts away to reveal the ceramic’s natural color. The tan fern pattern on this white vase is preserved this way. We also offer the white version of the Fern in a smaller size, and small and large sizes of the Fern in green and tan.
