Persimmon Petite Vase

Our Petites are sweet as can be and beg to be collected. Pick a favorite, or choose a few to make a set!

Our vessel throwers have the most fun when they’re making these little gems because they get to instill an extra dose of personality and individuality into each one. Height, width and form vary. 

Persimmon Glaze 

Please note that this batch of Petite Vases are a more saturated red-orange hue than those included in our previous launch.

This bright orange Persimmon glaze is an ode to Pewabic’s historic uranium glazes. Ceramic glazes are made by combining glass formers, fluxes, and refractories with metal oxides added to modify color and texture. Pre-1940s, before much was known about the dangers of certain materials, now-banned ingredients like lead and uranium were regularly used to achieve specific results. We no longer use these toxic components, but the process is still the same. Pewabic’s Ceramic Materials Engineer Alex Thullen works with safer materials to create the perfect color and texture on our vases. Thullen has created this satin finished orange Persimmon Glaze to celebrate our history and bring this fantastic color into the 21st century.
