Hand Thrown in Devon
Approximate measurements: 6.5cm H x 11.5cm ø, 225ml

A wide, open stoneware footed teabowl with balanced proportions and a gentle angular form, glazed with ash & celadon creating greenish greys and dark slate tones with a fine glassy crackle, with energetic painterly brushwork and washes of white tone sitting over a sea green surface, smooth yet very tactile surface that has a soft shine. Also, a nice toasted tone on the foot ring. A light and bright interior with blending white and green tones, the fine crackle is more visible, four iron blasts circle the bowl which is a nice aesthetic detail.

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.
