Woodfired Kyusu (3) by Linda Unsworth
Hand Thrown in Pembrokeshire, Wales
Approximate measurements: 11cm H x 14cm ø (incl. handle), 300ml

An awesome woodfired stoneware Kyusu. Crafted with great skill and consideration, excellent pour,  balanced weight and proportion of smaller capacity. The surface is toasted from the charcoal reduction firing with touches of fly ash highlighting the natural beauty of the clay in such warming tones. Full of complex Dartmoor granite inclusions creating an interesting speckling, soft shine and smooth, tactile feel. Finished with a bright shino liner with a fine crackle, filtered spout, tapered lid and flared handle, that's so comfortable to hold. Plus when pouring, you are rewarded with a lovely flash of colours at the base of the pot. This one is a personal favourite of ours for it’s perfect size and style, so well balanced. 

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.
