Nettle

Handmade, wheel-thrown fern and pewter bottle-neck vase on stoneware. Modeled, almost reptile texture, under the layered glazes from a thick slip with magnetite.

Magnetite is a rock mineral and one of the main iron ores, with the chemical formula Fe₃O₄. It is one of the oxides of iron and is ferrimagnetic (it is attracted to a magnet and can be magnetized to become a permanent magnet itself). It is the most magnetic of all the naturally occurring minerals on Earth and has many positive energetic properties as a crystal. 

The perfect vessel for flowers, stems, or decor. Donuts for scale.    

Ceramic dimensions approximately 7.5" H x 3.25" W.
