Nice smooth rounding and definite symmetry throughout
Like the colors and the way they contrast.

Mostly symmetrical, though top edge seems a bit wider than the bottom edge.
The carving and glazing of the carving is meticulously done is beautiful perfection.

Two wheel thrown symmetrical vases

This is a wheel thrown and "hand glazed" ceramic vase created by Scott Reed. It's hand painted with light blue, green, and brown glazes. This piece is approximately 8 inches tall by 6.5 inches wide. This piece drew my attention by the creative handles, (which are also symmetrical) which seem to resemble hands on hips. Although this vase has a very simple "football" shape, it is a well created, eye-pleasing piece.












This piece is a wheel thrown vase using Stoneware Clay. It is coated with "Flashing Soda" Slip. This symmetrical vase is 7 inches tall, and the widest point is about 3.5 inches wide. This piece is very interesting because of the texture that was engraved into the exterior, most likely done on the wheel. It has a very interesting shape to it with a wide base to skinny neck. The slip/glaze color(s) are very complimenting to the piece.
