Lidded Vessels by Kristen Moon

In researching lidded vessels I found that I like a variety of different lids, and vessels. I found that I was really drawn to lids that were unique or had some unique quality to them.

Victoria Christen
I really like how Victoria Christen's lid sets on top of the jar, most lids that I found are inset with a handle. This one looks like a jar that you would put sugar or flour in. I also love the surface work that was done on this jar, and lid. I like the spiral on the lid, and the parts that look like finger marks.
Sequoia Miller
What I love about Sequoia Miller's lid on this piece is the handle. I love the clean lines and the square handle. It looks very industrial, but then the color scheme and the plant painting on the side soften that a bit. I just really am attracted to the lines on this piece.

Janet Mansfield
Now to get in touch with my whimsical side! Janet Mansfield does something very fun with this lid, it looks like the top of a pumpkin to me! I love how the lid looks like it belongs with this jar.

Ayumi Horie
And last but not least, Ayumi Horie. I obviously love the surface work on this jar, but I also like how it reminds me of a cookie jar! I feel like with a jar like this whatever is inside it will just pale in comparison to the outside.
