Inkpot Inspiration - part II


West German Modernist Studio Vase by Elmar & Elke Kubicek (LEO Design)

This wonderfully complex studio vase intrigues me.  Made by Elmar & Elke Kubicek, it was hand-formed in the shape of an inkpot.  Then it was glazed with an oxblood, micro-crystalline glaze—enhanced with a crusty, brown froth.  Its most earthy sensibility—color, size and basic shape—is reminiscent of a heart (and not the saccharine, Valentine's Day variety).  Click on the photo above to learn more about it.
