Karen doesn’t often make true Miniatures, and we are so happy to have this new one. It is quite magnificent. It is hand coiled, traditionally fired and is painted and slipped with all natural pigments. Karen explained to me “Grandmothers calling – the designs I put here came from an old pot of my grandmothers. I was sent a photo. She is a first cousin to Joy Navasie, Sadie Adams and Beth Sakeva. I used each of their designs as well.” There is an amazing amount of detailed painting on such a small sized vase. Shards, eagle tails, checkerboard patterns – and much more! An absolute gem!
