138 Handicraft
The vase was a Christmas gift from my daughter. I am very fond of ceramics and she likes to check out North Carolina potters. This vase is from Lakewood Pottery in Siler City, NC. It's beautiful and it was a challenge to get the lighter blue glazing without getting a lot of other reflections.

I love the Vase, but more I love the basket on the table and view of the room in provides, but mostly that you kept yourself unreflected, a real pro photo.

What a rich looking vase - love that color!

Lovely photo. It looks almost as good in the photo as it does in person. I'm glad you like it. And as Ron said, great job keeping yourself out of the reflection!

I just looked at your last 6 photographs, all of which are very well done and great for the themes. My favorite is closely cropped. Love the red with the white. Great composition.

This is one fine looking vase. Really like the light blue flowers (pansys?) against the darker blue.

You did a grand job of the photo.

Ron picked out a basket in the reflection. I think it is a purse, not a basket. Do I see an aquarium (or is it a TV?) also in that reflection?
