Bill Boyd Bottle Vase |
For the 6th entry in this on-going series featuring the work of west coast potters I'm showing four
pieces by Bill Boyd of Galiano Island. Boyd has been a potter since 1970, but since he discovered
zinc-silicate crystal glazing in 2002, he has done nothing else.

These pieces are small, the bottle vases are the tallest at 8 inches, but some of his large free-standing
pieces and wall hangings run to almost 2 feet, and are priced accordingly.

These are crystal-glazed porcelain, fired at very high temperatures. Each piece is different, and can not be duplicated,
making them unique works of art. To say I like them would be understatement.

Zinc-silicate crystal? Spectacular! The effect is amazingly beautiful. These are real treasures.
