Bacchantes Handmade Pitcher | Soot

Jeanette Morrow's Bacchantes Handmade Pitcher in Soot is made from an antique Grand Tour intaglio, bacchantes were priestesses of Dionysus, the God of Wine. Their behaviors mostly relied on instinctive and emotional reflexes instead of on reason. A break away from reality and becoming a single entity with nature’s and humanity’s wild aspects was a significant aspect of their prayer.

This piece is a Medium Pitcher.  

• Approximately 4.5” wide and 7” in height
• This piece is glazed in Soot, a heavier matte black. Like the remnants of a cozy fire that burned all night.

All sizes are approximate and due to the nature of the pieces, slight imperfections should be expected (and embraced!) All pieces are hand built out of stoneware and glazed using only lead free and food safe glazes.
