Cenote, Stoned Denim and Green Tea Over Micro Pearl by Melissandre Busson

MAYCO Pastel Combo by Melissandre Busson

The vase by Melissandre Busson in the image is a stunning example of refined glaze artistry. Its form is elegant and organic – low and rounded with a central opening that gives it a sculptural, almost meditative presence.

The surface features a dreamy fusion of soft pastel tones: pale blues, celadon greens, and creamy whites flow into one another in a fluid, watercolor-like effect. Subtle iridescent sheens and pooling areas reveal depth and complexity, highlighting the interaction of multiple Mayco glazes – Cenote, Stoned Denim, and Green Tea layered over Micro Pearl.

The result evokes the tranquil beauty of natural landscapes – reminiscent of a misty lagoon or weathered sea stone – with each glaze contributing to a sense of motion and gentle luminosity. The finish is smooth and glassy, showcasing how expertly the artist balanced chemistry, layering, and firing to Cone 6 to achieve this harmonious, otherworldly surface.
