Water Carrier Vase
Stoneware with bamboo
In 1996, Lenore Vanderkooi created a ceramic water carrier vase adorned with bamboo. Vanderkooi, a ceramic expert working right here in Nashville, Tennesse, has a special affiliation with Vanderbilt from her own three years of ceramics education at Peabody. When she finished her education in 1975, she opened a studio in a building behind her home. With themes rooted in ancient Japan, the ceramic water carrier was born within Vanderkooi’s studio, and has remained here in Nashville for about ten years.
