Sodafired Tea Jar (7) by Bob Andrew

Sodafired Tea Jar (7) by Bob Andrew
Hand Thrown in Devon
Approximate measurements: 11cm height x 9cm width. (5.5cm opening)

Crafted from Cornish clay, that’s been fired with soda. The shorter, footed, barrel like form creates a really nice feel and proportion to the Jar. The surface is so tactile and satisfying - the soda is heavy on one side, creating a deep ‘orange peel’ texture, soft shine and a blending of black, orange, greens and greys. Petering out into a speckling of soda across the rich, earthy hues of the surface. An inset walled lid reveals a good size opening to a glazed interior with fine, glassy crackle, ideal for storing all types of leaf tea.

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