Substantial Matthew Lovein Raku Pottery wishing keeping vessel, signed on the underside. Blue glaze.
The artist's wife, Mary explained, He woke me in the night and said, I am going to make a Wish Keeper. I've seen it in a dream. The dream showed the vessel which sits on a distinctive base and has a lid formed like bamboo, representing strength and flexibility. When lifting the lid a silk cord is revealed with an inner chamber which holds a parchment with your written wish.
The ancient symbol on the seal represents good fortune and abundance. When he first saw the symbol on the finial of a lamp, he knew it was the one that would become the Wish Keeper's seal. Each piece is sealed by pressing the carved symbol into the wet clay, for a lifetime of good wishes.
Size: 17 x 14 in. including base.
