“ECLIPSE NIGHT” MOON JAR

My own illustration of the “Eclipse Night” moon jar

Made in London 2019 by Akiko Hirai the moon jar is around 65cm of stoneware; presumably thrown in two halves then connected. The jagged surface is adorned with cherry wood ash glaze and this visage is in order to celebrate the beauty of imperfection.

What I like about traditional moon jars is the scale and perfection but this example intentionally has a rough surface and imperfect white glaze.
