Wheel thrown porcelain bowl with hand crafted elephant walking on the rim. Glazed in Chun Green, this pot is reminiscent of mid-century modern ceramics with a whimsical twist. Bowl is 8” wide and 3” tall at the elephant’s head. Fill it with trinkets, or perhaps … peanuts.

About the artist, Laura Tietjen

This piece was crafted in a small pottery studio in Manhattan. Cornerstone Pottery offers classes to children, beginners, and experienced potters. Laura Tietjen has been teaching pottery and facilitating Monday night workshops at the studio for many years and not only enjoys the process of working with clay and watching its transformation, but loves watching her students learn the lessons of control and letting go. Each stage of creating a piece reveals its mysteries; from throwing the piece, to waiting for it to come out of a glaze fire. Nothing is ever predictable.

Thank you Laura for this adorable donation to our auction!
