Woodfired Kyusu (1) by Linda Unsworth
Hand Thrown in Pembrokeshire, Wales
Approximate measurements: 12cm H x 18cm ø (incl. handle), 500ml

An exquisite woodfired stoneware Kyusu. Crafted with skill and consideration, excellent pour,  balanced weight and proportion. Glazed with areas of shino and wood ash, highlighting the natural beauty of the clay. Creating a painterly feel and appearance to the vessel that is totally unique and full of energy. Splashes of peachy orange shino and cool greys lay over the clay’s warming toasted tones. The surface is full of complex Dartmoor granite inclusions creating an interesting speckling, soft shine and smooth, tactile feel. Finished with a bright shino liner, filtered spout, deep walled lid and amazing spherical handle, that's so comfortable to hold. An absolute joy!

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.
