Wavy Amphora Stoneware Vase by Susan Gordon Pottery

A rounded body, narrowed neck and softly wavy mouth give this hand-thrown Amphora vase its classical outline. High-fire glaze and a fine 22K gold-luster edge bring the shape into Susan Gordon's palette of French Blue, Peony and White.

“I am drawn to the contrast between the full body and the narrow neck. A loose spray of stems would continue that outline more gracefully than a tightly packed bunch.”
-Mrs. Mayfair

Maker / Heritage

Susan Gordon began her pottery business in a basement studio in 2013, bringing a background in ceramic sculpture and abstract painting to practical household objects. Her experience with paint still informs the gestures and surfaces of the work. In 2019 she opened a storefront and studio in Homewood, Alabama, where making and showing the pieces could sit together. The pottery passes through making, smoothing, glazing, gold decoration, sanding and a final check, with more than five pairs of hands and eyes involved. The hydrangeas outside her first garage studio became a recurring source of imagery, connecting the flowers of everyday life to the work of her hands.
