Rice bowls/Chawan. Various different surface treatments, including: Finger wiped and brushed white slip. Cobalt and Red River silt splashes.

Some of the bowls have had the slip drawn up vertically, some have had the slip wiped around the the bowl. All done with a vigour and an intended spontaneity. The foot rings on these bowls show a great chestnut colour where the clay body has been influenced by the sea shells that are used during firing. This common through the pieces I make.






Lidded caddies. Two small caddies with brushed and finger wiped white slip.
Finger wiped version has cobalt splashes and feldspar glaze.
The brushed version has cobalt and Red River silt splashes. The lid is covered in RRS and has a bamboo node handle, which is held in with a brass tack.
