Bowls & Vases

These are original "family" designs by Andy
from the Dharug People of the Sydney area.
Andy has agreed to hand paint each design, up to a limit of ten times, in a strictly limited edition. Each piece will be numbered and signed.
Because they all all hand painted,
each one will be unique.

6 different designs (presented below) can
be applied to any of the
5 different forms -large bowl, small bowl,
large vase, small vase and a platter.

These Works of Art are handmade on a potter's wheel from white clay. The designs are painted in acrylic and sealed with a water based sealer to protect the artwork,
(not suitable for holding food).
