Blue Glaze & No Glaze - An Inside Out Vase

This vase is plain weird! It’s been made inside out! The inside is glazed but the outside is plain clay with no decoration!
Well I say with no decoration but it’s been intricatly carved by hand which must have taken hours! The work on it is amazing, I’d love to see one of these being made and I’m willing to wager they work a whole lot faster than you’d expect.
It confuses me though, why make a vase that all the colour is on the inside? I know the inside needs to be glazed to be waterproof, but if this vase was ever used it would need to be washed. I’m worried if it was washed and the outside got wet it would permeate the clay and be ruined!
Having decided to make it unuseable why pick a bright colour for the inside? It would be just as good if it was simply a dull brown glaze, no one’s going to see it anyway!
I love it, how big is it? The bigger the better. It doesn’t belong amongst ugly vases.
Hi Jane, sadly it’s not that big, just eight inches from top to toe and three and three quarter inches diameter.
What’s the attraction to an unglazed vase? I’m curious
I had something VERY similar to this that was brought home from Tunisia by a friend. I think it’s a bit of tourist tat again - though actually I quite like it too.
The blue is striking the eye. *_*
You could perhaps glaze it and use it.
[...] seen one of these vases before (well actually I own one), but I wasn’t expecting to stumble across a second [...]
