Approximate measurements: 5cm H x 9cm ø, 110ml

A delightful 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 glossy white tones blending into blueish greens and blushes of purple with a fine crackle, that has a very expressive, painterly feel to it. Inside the grey tones amongst the blues and greens nicely add weight to aesthetic. The tactile surface has a smooth texture and soft shine. A neatly proportioned vessel.

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.
