Following on from my previous post about uses for ceramic bowls and dishes, here is the next post in the sequence, showing examples of how and where my ceramic vessels, vases and pots can be used.

It’s nice to have fresh flowers in the house, but when you don’t have any, how about displaying dried sticks or artificial flowers in a vase?

Many of my sculptural pots and vessels make great eye catching garden features for ornamental use. They also look nice as planters.

Taken from inside my workshop (below) ~ I use a few old vases for storing my tools and brushes.

I also found some other examples below, showing vessels used as ceramic lanterns and more storage pots for tools.

Would you use handmade art as a functional item, or would/do you prefer to leave it empty to admire on it’s own?
