Poppies everywhere

 

Can you stand another old pottery post? I promise I will give something more current tomorrow!

Repost from 2018


 The white of the outside is a smooth unfinished, but vitrified clay surface...I think it's a great contrast to the shiny bright red of the poppy.  Of course it's food safe.
