Four tall necked bottles with over the top attached stoppers

These have been fiendishly difficult to make and to keep in one piece. I set myself a challenge and in the end, the toppers look as if they could be separate anyway so the next and last eight will all have separate stoppers and I will be much relieved.

Very sculptural. You have talents in this area... maybe the pots are not only the bases but provide a comfort zone that lets you explore the sculptures at the top. I would not be at all surprised if you eventually move into sculptural pieces.

You may well be right - there is only so much coil handbuilding of vessels which excites after my production line effort this year! Making the stoppers is definately the creative and fun part and are the subject of my drawings...
I like the relationship between vessel and sculpture tho, a contradiction in some ways.
