Summers edge one of a kind vase SOLD

SUMMERS EDGE , one of a kind vase.
This hand painted vase is a striking piece of contemporary ceramic art, defined by its bold, narrative illustration and high-energy color palette. It functions as a “360-degree canvas,” where a whimsical landscape unfolds as you rotate the piece.

Here is a more detailed look at its artistic elements:

1. Artistic Style and Influence

The aesthetic is heavily influenced by Clarice Cliff.

• Whimsical Surrealism: The proportions are intentionally playful; the sun is oversized, the hills are vibrant shades of magenta and teal, and the trees look like geometric abstractions.

2. The Narrative Journey (Panels)

The artwork flows through several distinct “scenes”:

• The Harbor: A calm blue bay populated by tiny, minimalist sailboats. A lighthouse stands on a rocky point, emitting a yellow beam of light.

• The Village: Tightly packed, multi-colored cottages with steep roofs and smoking chimneys, suggesting a cozy, lived-in atmosphere.

• The Rolling Highlands: The landscape transitions into steep, multicolored slopes (greens, reds, and purples) that create a sense of depth and movement.

• The Flora: Tall, slender “feather” trees and tropical palm silhouettes sit alongside “lollipop” trees, blending different climates into one fantasy world.

3. Compositional Details

• The Sun: Acts as the anchor for the entire piece. Its radiant orange and yellow rays stretch across the top third of the vase, providing a sense of warmth and “daylight” to the scene.

• The Base: A sharp, rhythmic pattern of triangles (blue, green, and black) provides a stable, modern contrast to the organic, flowing lines of the hills and water above.

• The Top: Finished with a simple, solid lime-green band that neatly frames the “sky” of the illustration.

4. Physical Impression

The vase has a sleek, conical silhouette (often called a “frustum” shape), tapering from a wide, sturdy base to a narrower rim. The high-gloss glaze gives it a reflective, liquid-like finish, making it a “statement piece” that would likely become the focal point in any room.
