Hand Thrown in East Sussex
Approximate measurements: 8cm height, 9.5cm width, 300ml
A comfortable and natural feeling footed stoneware Tea Bowl. Dipped with a white ash glaze giving a bright appearance, smooth feel and soft shine. Decorated with block brush strokes of black slip creating light washes and drips of graphite. The form has a wider angular base with a single ridge that bands round the Tea Bowl, very pleasing overall. This form would even lend itself as a smaller vessel to prepare Matcha.
Nicola is a Brighton based Ceramicist. Beginning to create with clay in 2013, since then producing functional stoneware with a bold and simplistic approach that serves to create a rustic yet elegant style. Vessels that seek to bridge a connection between maker and user through the unique character of each handmade piece. 2022 sees Nicola currently exploring oxides, dark slips, found clay and local ash. Reflecting natural decay and erosion, exterior elements and ageing patinas out there in the natural world.
Each handmade and unique, therefore slight variations in shape, size and glaze will occur. Handwash recommended
