. This is a very unique Southwestern style vase. It was designed and crafted by Bill Standefer. He molded the vase then literally shot the mold with a shotgun, creating a very unique effect before firing the base in the kiln. It was painted with matte slate blue, matte light mauve and shiny bright mauve then gold accent paint was added for the finishing touch. Since no two shotgun blasts result in the exact same pattern, this vase is truly one-of-a-kind.
