Buds by the Billions

A constellation of color spreads across pristine white in rhythmic waves of hand-applied dots. Warm yellows and oranges radiate from concentrated centers while cool blues and reds establish counterpoints across the surface. The pattern suggests both celestial movement and organic growth—pointillist energy frozen in ceramic form. Black calligraphic gestures punctuate the composition with spontaneous grace, while the dramatically undulating rim creates a crown of sculptural motion. At ten inches high, the work commands attention through its bold scale and the mesmerizing density of its surface treatment.
This work belongs to the JeanElton TallVase Collection, characterized by its substantial vertical presence and dramatically sculptured rim that moves in organic waves around the vessel's opening. The undulating edge creates ever-changing silhouettes as one moves around the piece, while the substantial height provides an expansive canvas for the intricate dotted surface treatment.
The work is fired first to approximately 1800 degrees F, after which any remaining fine alterations are made, and the surface treatment is applied by hand by the artist. A second firing to about 2100 degrees F completes the process, ensuring its durability and artistic integrity.
This piece bears the JeanElton signature on its underside and comes with a Certificate of Authenticity (COA), both of which display its catalogue reference.
