Karen and Rick Roth's ceramics are based in nature. From super-realististic tree bark and mushrooms to birds, frogs and caterpillers,each one-of-a-kind work is breathtaking in its detail. "Purple Finch Vase": This adult purple finch is feeding a hungry youngster on the edge of an open mouth vase. It has an unglazed crackle texture on the outside, and a crystaline glaze inside. The whole piece is hand thrown and sculpted stoneware. Littleton, MA 01460
