Hand Thrown in Devon
Approximate measurements: 5.5cm H x 11.5cm ø, 150ml

A wide, open stoneware footed teabowl with balanced proportions and an angular form, glazed with ash & celadon creating blueish green tones with a fine glassy crackle, with darker marine tones together with a motif of linear ridges banding around the vessel. Fine glassy crackle, blue-ish greys and large iron blasts create a bit of drama on the interior. The texture is smooth with a soft shine. Holding comfortably in the hand.

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.
