A nesting blue bird tops this fresh aqua blue garlic keeper. One of a kind and beautifully detailed, this keeper works well as a luminary or for roasting individual heads of garlic.
This exquisitely beautiful artwork, like the other pottery available from WildCrowFarm, is not production pottery and the only one in existence due to the single firing schedule and variability of the hands of the artist and the unpredictability in high-fire pottery. Some of our pottery will be similar but this treasure can never be matched.
Description
Exceptionally sweet and unique, this blue bird garlic keeper measures approx. 3 1/2″ wide x 5″ tall from bottom to top of the blue bird’s tail on the lid. It will keep your garlic nicely and can be used for other treasures, too ~ even a luminary when the lid is off. Great for roasting single heads of garlic. A smaller keeper, this piece holds approx. 1 1/4 cup ~ 1-3 large cloves, or more smaller cloves.
Created from white sandy Northern California clay (some from my own farm), the base is wheel thrown and impressed with a spring vine and leaf detail surrounding the base. The beautifully styled lid is hand formed with lace impressions surrounding a hand sculpted blue bird sitting on her nest. Then, everything is hand glazed with food safe, oven safe, dishwasher safe glazes. The glazes on our pieces are simply stunning!
-Stoneware fired to over 2200 degrees for durability and ease of use and cleaning. The bottoms are unglazed and feature our maker’s mark.
-Please note that all of our stoneware pottery is hand crafted and no molds are used in the creation of our vessels, so please expect variations in hand applied glaze techniques and shapes. This ensures that your piece(s) are always one of a kind, and priceless.
