Wicked Garden Jack
Wicked Garden Jack
This is a one-of-a-kind art sculpture jack-o-lantern. Colorful underglaze garden with a gloss black jack and clear interior.
This jack is wheel thrown as a trapped air form in porcelain. It is shaped, carved, and the stem is then pulled and attached. The leaves, bugs, flowers and frogs are all individually sculpted or sprigged and applied. I created some sprig molds from antique Mattel toy molds for the frogs and creepy crawlers. The entire garden is hand painted with multiple underglaze colors prior to bisque firing. After bisque the black glaze gets carefully applied in multiple coats. The stem is a beautiful satin lava brown. The piece is then fired a second time to glaze temperature.

Your jack-o-lanterns should be kept away from extreme heat or cold to avoid thermal shock. Flameless battery operated tea lights or votives are recommended.
