Tortoise glazed tall bottle c. 2000

"Tortoise glazed tall bottle" is a ceramic vase created by Richey Bellinger in 2000. This piece showcases Bellinger's talent for creating intricate glazes with layered colors and textures. The blue, green, and yellow glaze resembles the patterned shell of a tortoise, hence the title. The vase's tall, slender form creates a sense of elegance and sophistication, while the unique glaze adds a touch of whimsy and natural beauty. This piece is currently on display at the Minneapolis Institute of Art.
