This is a wheel thrown planter with a hand made clay nest piece that was slipped and scored on to the lip to make it a hand & wheel project. The planter is approximately 5.25 inches tall by 5 inches wide, and it has a planter ring along the bottom of it and a hand made clay nest with three balls of clay that represent bird eggs, and it is slipped and scored on to the lip of the project. The surface of the planter, both inside and out is smooth, with slightly defined lines, on the inside as result of the finger marks made when it was thrown. The nest is glazed in metallic brown, and the eggs are white. The entire surface of the planter is glazed in off white, and there are hand painted leaves and patches of grass stained in green, and a candy apple red stained heart on the bottom of the inside of the planter. The contrast between the white back ground of the planter and the dark nest, green leaves, and red heart, make the paintings and the bird nest stand out a lot.
