Item Description

This Porcelain Vase ( 11" x 8" x 8") is exclusively offered and produced right here in Albuquerque and is the perfect companion for a floral bouquet!

Pat Trujillo, (Co-Founder of "Not Made In China Pottery Studio" and life-long  New Mexican Native), lovingly adorned this wheel thrown form ( with liquid color clays (slips) while still spinning on the wheel.  Once completely dry the clay form  is bisque fired at roughly 1800 degrees Fahrenheit. After applying the silica rich glaze the piece goes through an another firing at 2232 degrees Fahrenheit for about 24 hours.  This high firing gives the form lasting strength and beauty good for 10,000 years!  But as in all fine glass and ceramics, you must hand wash only.

The studio is conveniently located on the on the SW corner of Yale and Avenida Cesar Chavez SE,  is an artisian cooperative where members enjoy the benefits of studio and gallery space selling to the public that offers the lowest priced memberships with the most benefits.

We are a local start-up Company that was created by UNM and CNM students facing an economy that currently has little to no production of goods and jobs. Materials are purchased from our local supplier, New Mexico Clay. Here at Not Made in China Pottery Studio, we bring local production, classes and job creation back to America together with YOU!  Interested in trying out the clay experience --check out our website: notmadeinchinapottery.com/ or our facebook page.
