Shino Shiboridashi by Linda Unsworth

Hand Thrown in Pembrokeshire, Wales

Approx: 190ml

A delightful wood fired stoneware Shiboridashi with a taller, crucible like form. Shaped into the body is a ridged swirl providing a wonderful feel and appearance. Glazed with shino giving it a rich peachy orange tone and bright feel, as well as cool grey splashes in the glaze that create some motion. All contrasting with the gently toasted tone of the raw clay of the foot and around the inner lip. The surface is full of complex granite inclusions creating an interesting natural speckling, it has a soft shine and smooth feel making the vessel easy to handle and an absolute joy to use.

One off piece. Handwash recommended.

Based in North Pembrokeshire, producing work from her home studio.
Linda is a self taught potter, who enjoys the meditative experience that’s created by working with such natural elements as raw clay, glazes and the rhythm of her momentum wheel. Producing beautiful wood fired ceramics that really highlight this long process leaving visible traces of flame flashes and fly ash on her pots. Her approach to the form and style of her work is inspired by her natural surroundings and informed by Eastern aesthetics through traditional Japanese & Korean pottery and philosophy and her love of tea drinking.
