Ash Glaze Mug by Charlie Collier


Hand Thrown in Devon


Approximate measurements: 10cm height x 12cm width. capacity coming soon

A medium size tankard style stoneware mug gently flaring out at the base, thin lip, flowing handle, holding comfortably in the hand. Carefully and skilfully made, formed with iron rich Cornish clay, using a wood ash glaze creating a smooth texture of calming soft satin greens and complementing silvery grey tones with fine speckles and glassy crackle within the surface. A beautiful vessel with a bright and airy feel.

Charlie Collier creates functional hand thrown stoneware pieces that have an effortless simplicity and beauty to them made to enhance occasions and enrich our daily lives. Admiring the philosophy, that pots are ‘born, not made’ Charlie follows an organic approach to the creative process with the clay, paying particular detail to shape and form and instinctively knowing at which point a form is complete. He creates pieces that have a honest connection, energy and real character to them, something that you only feel with a handmade item.

Previously honing his skills and experience at Whichford Pottery and alongside its founder, Jim Keeling and a group of Japanese potters from Bizen, to build and fire with a Anagama woodfiring Kiln at Wytham Woods in Oxford. Charlie is now based at the Kigbeare Kiln Project near Okehampton, Devon.

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