Woodfired Shino Splash Kyusu by Linda Unsworth
Hand Thrown in Pembrokeshire, Wales
Approximate measurements: 9cm H x 12cm ø (incl. handle) 5cm opening, 100ml

A beautiful woodfired stoneware Kyusu. Crafted from porcelaneous clay with great skill and consideration, excellent pour, balanced weight and proportion for this smaller capacity. The surface, mostly unglazed, warming toasted tones, partially glazed with expressive splashes of peachy shino and enriched with plenty of fly ash highlighting the natural beauty of the pale clay. Complemented by complex granite inclusions creating an interesting speckling, soft shine and smooth, tactile feel. Finished with a bright shino liner with a fine crackle, narrow filtered spout, tapered lid and flared handle, that's so comfortable to hold.

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.
