A beautiful stoneware footed teabowl, crafted from iron rich clay with more of a small yunomi style form, cupping the hand perfectly with robust walls. The clay foot foot is nicely rough and tactile contrasting with the ash & celadon glazed surface giving a smooth texture, fine glassy crackle and soft shine. Bubbles of clay jut out from the surface adding a textural quality. This glaze is full of complex tonal details. Stone white and slate grey tones blend across the surface with touches of ochre, and sea green tones around the lip. Inside, a satisfying blueish grey add weight and substance to the overall aesthetic. 

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.
