Hand Thrown in Devon
Approximate measurements: 5.5cm H x 10cm ø, 175ml

An intricately decorated stoneware footed teabowl, crafted from iron rich clay that has a tactile feel, a classic form and robust walls, decorated with ash & celadon glazes creating speckled white tones blending into crackly blueish greens and blushes of purple, that has a very expressive, painterly feel to it. Also a nice detail to note is the hand stamped pattern around the dark inner band, a nice touch with a raku like crackle descending into the blueish green interior. Holding comfortably in the hands with a smooth texture and soft shine.

Anja is an East Devon based Ceramicist working with clay since 2012, going under the moniker of Streetdog Pottery with a studio in Colyton, producing a variety of porcelain and stoneware vessels and teaware. 

Anja’s work leans into the organic creative process celebrating the energy and movement within these simplistic forms. Experimenting with the nature of a wide variety of clays from Porcelain to Sculptural clays, Anja enjoys manipulating the clay body to it’s limits, drawing the clay thinly to rips and tears. whilst also favouring natural and aging patinas, Anja makes her own Celadon glazes and Ash recipes, burnt from different trees and plants, and explores different techniques to achieve this effect on the surface of the form through a combination of glazes application and mark making. 

Each handmade and unique, therefore slight variations in shape, size and glaze will occur. Handwash recommended.
