Woodfired Shino Teabowl by Linda Unsworth

Woodfired Shino Teabowl by Linda Unsworth
Hand Thrown in Pembrokeshire, Wales
Approximate measurements: 4cm H x 7cm ø, 40ml

A beautifully proportioned, open form footed stoneware teabowl. Skilfully crafted with care and glazed with shino, creating a smooth surface, soft shine and very fine crackle, with creamy, off white tones and peachy blushes on the surface plus a little speckling from the clay below. The foot has been carefully balanced to complement the form. A very considered piece with a timeless quality - ideal size for gong fu tea sessions.

We have 2 available. Each handmade and unique, therefore slight variations in shape, size will occur. Handwash recommended.

1 ~ Lighter peachy blushes on the surface, plus subtle orange tones inside and larger crackling - becoming more pronounced with use.

2 ~ Stronger peachy blushes on the surface with a collection iron blasts inside.

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.
