33. Teabowl - River Clay

£125.00

Here is a black river-clay chawan, although I would point out it isn’t black. The glaze is made of 80 percent river clay, a slip glaze it is called, and comes out a very dark brown/green. The colour, or lack there of, is very dependent on the lighting, please see the pictures. Suffice to say it is dark. It is old school. It comes from my local river, the River Great Ouse. It reveals the subtleties of shadow. It is a winter chawan. It is for bare trees, and snow, and quiet.

River-clay slip glaze.

9.5cm high.

All photographs have been taken in natural light and with no colour editing. All photographs taken with an iPhone13 Pro. Colours may appear a little different from the actual work depending on monitors and reflected light during the photography process. Let me know if you would like to see more pictures.

All work ought to be safe for the dishwasher, but, like any ceramic ware, life may be shortened by repeated exposure to the magnificent cleaning machine.

Don’t leave food or drink in ceramic ware over night. My work is too beautiful for that kind of treatment.
