Ochre vase, throat slightly off-axis

I started this piece thinking about the **terracotta water pots** my grandmother kept on the back veranda in Bengaluru. They were never quite symmetrical — the lip pulled a little to one side from being lifted in and out a thousand times — and that asymmetry was the thing that made them feel like hers. I wanted that small wrongness to be present in this vase too, on purpose. The throat leans about three degrees off vertical; it changes the whole feel.
