13 GLOBULAR JARS ←
Similar to the much sought after Moon Jars, Globular Vessels are also intended to take on
a spherical and rounded form. Uses for traditional globular jars included to store grains in prayer
that the soul would live on eternally. These reinterpretations were a way of practicing making spheres
- one of the hardest shapes for potters. The challenge remains in reversed pulls of the clay, so as
not to make the walls around the belly of the pot too thin.
The word globular in the 1550s meant "the planet earth," or "map of the earth or sky drawn on the surface of an artificial sphere".
By the 1660s it also meant "globe-shaped glass vessel".
Each of these jars sports its own unique glazing. A solar orange surface , which an even coat of Chun Blue inside.
The pots are all unique, and each one is a little larger than the last.
