Luster Vessels by Paul J. Katrich for
The Showplace in New York City

Luster Vessel 1437 (~6").

"A superior bottle vase with glowing flows of
deep blue, otherworldly amber and rich volcanic green.
A virtuouso glaze performance on a midsummer's night
fantasia.

Luster Vessel 1438 (~7").

"A firey-iridescent red keeps pace with
flowing molten blues and iridescent violet.
Inspired by ancient Chinese works, this piece
transcends to its own level. Reds of this depth
and quality are most difficult to achieve, and
this is a highly potent and successful example.
Exuberant, cheerful and alive.

Luster Vessel 1439 (6").

"A dense forest glade, with amber lights of
dusk falling through emerald green, lapis blue
and sky turquoise. A vessel of great mystery,
invention and unexpected, lovely reflections.
Fine in all of its dimensions.
